Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1525-1594) - O Magnum Mysterium

@VKSGuitar Me refiero al Renacimiento literalmente como amplio movimiento cultural que se produjo en Europa Occidental en los siglos XV y XVI.

Es cierto eso de que la voz humana es el más sublime de los instrumentos!!! Orgulloso de pertenecer a la misma especie de Palestrina!!!

This is Palestrina's best work, hands down. The people who get hyped up about Sicut Cervus and Super Flumina Babylonis probably haven't ever heard this masterpiece. The only word to describe this piece is otherworldly. It's almost if Palestrina were there and heard the angels singing the day Christ was born.

What beautiful music! Which piece is this exactly? Is it part of a mass or motet etc?

@henripche

O magnum mysterium, motet for 6 voices (from Motets Book I): O magnum mysterium (prima pars)
