{"product_id":"masses-and-motets-9780486276311","title":"Masses and Motets","description":"\u003cp\u003eDespite his vast output (105 masses, over 250 motets), Giovanni de Palestrina (c. 1525-1594) maintained an extraordinary level of quality in his music. With Byrd and Lassus, he ranks among the greatest composers of the last sixteenth century and a study of his work is essential for serious students and scholars.\u003cbr\u003eThis volume contains six masses by the composer, as well as a selection of motets. Certain of the masses are \"parody\" masses, i.e. they are based on a motet or other works by Palestrina or another composer. In such cases, the original motet, or chant, has also been included here. The six masses are: \u003ci\u003eMissa Papae Marcelli\u003c\/i\u003e (his most famous), \u003ci\u003eMissa L'Homme Arm \u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMissa O Magnum Mysterian\u003c\/i\u003e (plus motet), \u003ci\u003eMissa Ave Regina Coelorum\u003c\/i\u003e (plus chant), \u003ci\u003eMissa Veni Sponsa Christi\u003c\/i\u003e (plus motet), and \u003ci\u003eMissa Ascendo ad Patrem\u003c\/i\u003e (plus motet). Written for unaccompanied voices, these compositions rank among the finest works of a towering figure in early music. In this inexpensive, authoritative edition, they will be welcomed by all students and lovers of sacred music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486276311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.08h x 8.36w x 0.46d","brand":"Giovanni Pierluigi Da Palestrina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36637712711836,"sku":"9780486276311","price":19.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_8e7e4302-05a3-4059-9f67-f833e474efa3.jpg?v=1603845499","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/masses-and-motets-9780486276311","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
