[FallDownAndDie]

Is this piece really just only titled, "Agnus Dei?"  That's the full title? This isn't like a part of a larger composition or something?

[lelutindecouves]

@FallDownAndDie Agnus Dei is a part of the Catholic Mass

The Kingdom of God is Within You, and All Around You.

I don't believe in god at all, but this music is simply amazing

[louiseobrien2010]

@FallDownAndDie Agnus Dei is latin for Lamb of God - this piece of music is from a the Catholic Mass and it was set to music by many famous composers.

[romain1993]

@lelutindecouves it's from Missa Papae Marcelli

@FallDownAndDie it's from Missa Papae Marcelli

@FallDownAndDie Agnus Dei is indeed a part of Mass... but this one is also specifically part of Missa Papae Marcelli by Palestrina (1557), one of the greatest works of polyphony. I think this is Agnus Dei I, and there's another part, Agnus Dei II. The whole Mass (Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Benedictus, Agnus Dei I & II) is something you must listen to! :) I would recommend a Westminster Cathedral Choir recording - counterpoint4 uploaded them all, score is included!

@FallDownAndDie of course, is a part of the liturgic inside catholic celebration mass, singed like credo or kirye eleison in the called misa del papa marcelo, fom palestrina compossition. the agnus dei means el cordero de dios, the goods lamb.
