Solo respirando la nebbia della bassa si possono comporre musiche così sublimi.

Monteverdi figlio del Mondo Piccolo!

@barbapapa1966

Ma questo brano e di Palestrina! che era del Lazio se non mi sbaglio.

@Euterpe1952

Mi scusi per lo svarione, probabilmente stavo dormendo in piedi. Palestrina è del Lazio ho anche visitato la sua città natale che ha preso il nome oramai da lui, anchichissima città più antica di Roma e luogo di scambio tra mercanti fenici / greci (vado a memoria) e le popolazione dell'entroterra. Da visitare assolutamente la villa dei Barberini costruita inglobando un antico tempio della dea del Nilo.

[busybee720]

Is this Westminster Cathedral? Or maybe St. John's Cambridge?

[DeathFish123]

[DonRaphel]

Which choir is it? Boy sopranos I guess.

[WippiehWillow]

no, it's a "normal" mixed choir with 4 voices/parts.

[benatidicane]

4 voci soliste

[HerbalDevil69]

i love Palestrina...absolute fantastic Music

[starlightmeteor]

Schmbot, could you upload the Latin text and a possible translation of the Benedictus? Palestrina's music is gorgeous, no doubt, but I would love to know what they are singing about.

[GrumpyOldTroll]

The Latin text is:

"Benedíctus qui vénit in nómine Dómini.

Hosánna in excélsis."

In English:

"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna in the highest."

[GrumpyOldTroll]

The Benedictus, I might add, is that part of the Mass which immediately follows the Sanctus and precedes the Canon.

[MassimoofItalia]

No... in the Latin High mass.. it is sung after the Consecration prayers

[GrumpyOldTroll]

It is not; check your Missal.

[danitiwa]

This is such a beatuiful song.

[MassimoofItalia]

not a song, a part of the Roman Catholic Mass

[screamfreak217]

is this an opera?

[Olevival]

No, it's a mass.

[screamfreak217]

mass?

[MESIII]

Missa Papae Marcelli, or Pope Marcellus Mass, is a mass by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. It is his most well-known and most often-performed mass, and is frequently taught in university courses on music. It was always sung at the Papal Coronation Mass (the last being the coronation of Paul VI in 1963.

[GrumpyOldTroll]

I go to the Latin Mass every Sunday, so I know very well what this is, thank you.

[oatboy]

what does that have to do with recognizing internet trolls?

[GrumpyOldTroll]

I thought that you were using the term in the vocative. Do I seem to be an internet troll to you?

[GrumpyOldTroll]

Please do excuse me, I had not seen the above discussion, and thought you were referring to me! Ignore my posts in this thread.
