Credo - Giovanni Palestrina...Gregorian Chant

[TheLovemonster8]

i'm sure glad music finally got better then this bullshit. baroque ftw

[ondemand10]

I'm sure God spoke through Palestrina

[MartinRaetzJr]

Great. Dazzling.

[JOSEMERO49]

Agree with you. Palestrina differs from Gregorian chants since he was the pioneer of the polyphonic sacred music whilst Gregorian is the most ancient choral manifestation of the christian music, since the time of Jesus and maybe before it. Gregorian name comes from the homage to Pope Gregory on the midst of XIV century. Both structures differ.

[zygodactylexicon]

Wow, what a BEAUTIFUL piece of music. Sincere awe, reverence, and humility, does have a sound, doesn't it? Praise God.

[AgapitoPratesPaulo]

A Polifonia de Palesrina vale a pena de escutar; é uma aula de Catecismo; é uma leitura orante da Bíblia. Obrigado pela fé e esperança que infundem, com tanta caridade. pratespaulo.

[RainerPoppe]

"Where did I get for my face an helm of the healing?"

[benaggreyfynn]

Beautiful and serene music. This is second to none.

Incredibly inspiring. Blessed be God forever.

Thanks and God bless.

† Peace.

[vadess40]

@benaggreyfynn Blessed be God forever, indeed!

[traciepoo]

...palestrina is not gregorian chant my friend. gregorian chant is all monophonic, hence the word "chant". Palestrina was all beautiful polyphony.

[Malloyism]

@traciepoo I beg to differ mate. Gregorian Chant was more of a style of singing the religious music of the period. The 3, 4, and 5 voice were then takin up as a matter of request by the main composers of the day at the request of leaders and other interested folk. A work for say 4 voices,,.. soprano,tenor,alto,bass a simplicity of 4 separate lines of music on one sheet.. Chant was definiatly the forerunner of this consice choir type. And GC was a lot different then to listen to.

[BibleJoker2Face]

beautiful music. This is TRUE music.

[YoJo456]

Does anyone know wheather palestrina performed "Stabat Mater"?

and where i can hear it? :)

[HPPSC219]

Beautiful music by Palestrina. However, this is not Gregorian Chant. It is polyphony and that is entirely different from Gregorian chant.

[mvolkov11]

It might be helpful to add that this Credo is from Palestrina's Missa Papae Marcelli. The entire work includes the Kyrie and Gloria before the Credo - the Sanctus and Agnus Dei follow. If you respond to this by all means familiarize yourself with the entire work. Suffice to say that Palestrina's effortlessly flowing polyphony is even surpassed by the level of spiritual exaltation he attains - a level matched by only a handful of other works in the last four centuries.

[danierusan111]

Wasn't this taken from the Civ IV soundtrack? ;-)

[TitusBrownMusic]

@danierusan111 NNNOOOOOOO.... Civ IV took this FOR it's soundtrack. SILLY PEOPLE THESE DAYS!! =P

[SPQRImperator]

@danierusan111 Correct.

I imagine Napoleon building his army to smash that traitor, Peter the "Great" right now. lol

Memories.

[pimpinjosh12]

i think i recognize this one...its on civ 4

[jakem1000]

3:20 is absolutely magical. This is really wonderful.

[RadicalSyndicate]

christianity should nothing more than this music + charity work

[Jitpring]

@RadicalSyndicate But without doctrinal Christianity this music and charity would not exist.

[Wolfdog707]

Not a Gregorian Chant...Hildegard Von Bingen is classified with Gregorian chant but THIS is Giovanni Pierluigi Palestrina...Italian Renaissance composer of polyphonic vocal music! Best known rep. of the Roman-School of musical composition. His work has often been seen as the culmination of renaissance polyphony! Truly beautiful and incredible. Thank-you for posting the pic of the Resurrected Lord and Savior with this music as a backdrop...just awe-inspiring.

[sweetnsour7066]

We are all just passing through...

[b0ttomzone]

Palestrina =/= Gregorian Chant

Palestrina = Renaissance polyphony!

[sariel22ich]

@b0ttomzone thats exactly want i wanted to comment :)

[MartinRaetzJr]

@b0ttomzone Palestrina took Gregorian Chants as Cantus Firmus.

[billvaneck1]

I sang Palestrina masses for many years in my local church in Holland.

To my mind it is still church music ever written

[musictranscription]

I write any sheet music

[ugollanoscruz]

FELIZ NABIDAD

[RogueTheElfWarrior1]

Enchanting song.

[BennieAndThoseJets]

Gregorian Chant was monophonic - this is polyphonic.

[1159Midnight]

We will adore for eternity the most holy Sacrament.

Praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise Him all ye peoples.

Because his mercy is confirmed upon us:

and the truth of the Lord remains forever.

Adoremus...

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost:

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Adoremus...

That is all the argument I have for the onrunning debate that has been witnessed here. This hymn is not about a fight.

[NeskaBean]

Thank you.

[Viracocha711]

@1159Midnight Don't ruin the music with such delusional comments.

[drsidethinktube]

@Viracocha711

The comment isn't delusional.

Somehow the emotional context works for peoplewho don't undersdtanf Latin nor any of the Doctrin involved.

It would work just as well in Klingon with some compromise to use a heavy vowel load.

[nairobibeats]

why nobody said that galileo decided tio abjure by himself? that's ridiculous.

[sherbetstraw]

people! dont fall out over history's fallouts!

[busybee720]

Wow! What an argument!

Let's all chillout and listen to the music! I do love Palestrina!

[Unagidon100]

And, read a damned history book. It was the secular courts and monarchies that killed heretics to maintain political order - the Inquisition sentenced fewer people to death than the state of Texas. If you were charged with heresy in the Middle Ages, you WANTED the Inquisition as opposed to the secular court, because the Church wanted to save souls, not kill people. You morons know nothing but the propaganda that has been shoved down your throats.

[KOF89]

Healty sound in ill times. Today need new St. Inquisition and new cruseders.

Today anti-Catholic/Anti-Christianit­y Europe Is no future.

[Unagidon100]

The anti-Catholic bigotry here is disgusting. The Church attended to the needs of millions poor and sick people, defended Europe against relentless Islamic invasions for a thousand years, promoted science and the arts, and is responsible for any notion of human rights you pathetic liberals hold today. Show some gratitude!

[HallelujahForEver]

...... of human beings while keeping in power in Europe particularly, for CENTERIES.................... If you're despite of it a follower/member of that evil organization, it's just your PROBLEM!

Memorize this - The past can only be forgotten, but never erased! And read History of Europe my friend!

[AnratoVeryamahtar]

first of all - if you could - make less errors, secondly - gregorian chants have something that you cannot find - specific style,I do not deny the cruelness of inquisition or degeration in those time, yet still - why should singing style be deemed 'bad' only because history of that time was that kind, and not the other ? Should then Jet Aircrafts be deemed bad because they arose in time of WW II ? I don't think so.

[AnratoVeryamahtar]

Thyese songs have specific theme and they are much better imho than modern versions of it.

You deemed this style misusing of human voice.. well...What you really want to hear is modern songs:does most of pop music, rap,etc. sound like using voice well ? I may be damned, but still I prefer gregorian chants from most modern "hits". [being fan of Symohonic metal myself] To be honest best way of using voice I find in choral chants, songs and operas. [There are few good modern songs as well, though]

[HallelujahForEver]

I don't like catholic gregorian chant, particularly men chant as it recalls on dark Middle Ages and all atrocities commited by the very church that "invented" such sort of "singing". There is nothing beautiful in it, rather something sinister!

All of you gregorian chant fans, SHOULD read "The history of the church", her Inquisition, torturing, burning alive human beings....etc. before you start listening and praising her originally way of mis-using the beauty of human voice.Not angelic but dem.

[Anthrax4000]

I'm not even catholic but, you need get over the past... it's just music and you really need to calm down. We're all well aware of the past, but were people at the time as well educated as they are now? no

But it's your opinion and i could care less, i just enjoy the music, if you can't enjoy it just because of the madness of a mad time i pity you for clinging to events you had no part in... it's silly and pathetic.

[bottlebrusher]

hallelujahforever,

then maybe you don't like the german people or anything german because of their past or the japanese, the british, the italians, the spanish, the portuguese, or even the americans (of which i am) for the atrocities commited against the native americans, etc. get off your high horse of self righteousness. you're so willing to point and cast the first stone

[HallelujahForEver]

Hello bottlebrusher,

I did not say anything about people-nations, (if you just read my comment carefully) but on that "singing". It's my human right to express my own opinion of something whether others like it or not.

For me such sort of "singing" is dark. depressed and reminds me on death. If you enjoy it -it's your right, too.

Truly, I don't like RomanCatholic wicked and corrupted political-religious sistem which commited such atrocities and crimes causing incredible sufferings of milions

[rumpranger65]

You need to understand that Protestants are guilty of the exact same crimes of Catholics. Either way, evils are caused by man, and not by the Church. Man corrupts the sacred, not the other way around.

Please remember who gave you your Bible and all of your main doctrines. And please remember which Church never split from itself, and goes back all the way to the apostles.

As for the music, it is simply beautiful.

[ChivKnight]

Oh yea, just because a few guys screwed up means the whole thing is screwed up right!? Just because a few morons decided to exploit the benefits of the Church so that makes everything related to the Church bad and evil right?

[jesterrace64]

[labarum312]

Beautiful. It is from Pallestrina's Missa Papae Marcelli. Busybody720 is correct; it is Rennaissance polyphony - not Gregorian chant.

[IHateClubPenguinI]
