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.
The Missa Papae Marcelli consists, like most Renaissance masses, of a Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus/Benedictus, and Agnus Dei, though the Agnus Dei is in two parts rather than the common three.
The mass was composed in honor of Pope Marcellus II, who reigned for three weeks in 1555.































Here is each part of Palestrina's Pope Marcellus Mass. I was able to find the recordings off of the same album except the Sanctus.

My personal favorite is the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God), the last one. It has a beautiful flow. It's time consuming but try listening to the entire mass in one sitting. Just lovely.

They are absolutely stunning pieces of choir music, I especially like the last one and the Pope Marcellus Mass Gloria Palestrina. You can imagine similar music playing in chapels across Western Europe during the Middle Ages.

Here's some Victorian music boxes. They sound so beautiful. (The Victorian Era is the limit of recent eras that I'll put on here)

























Also here's some piano music:

Byrd's mass for 3 voices. It's incredible that 3 voices can make such lovely flowing music that one can get lost in.

That is absolutely beautiful to hear. I think that by singing music like that, it's a good way to learn latin. It's also very interesting to find out about Willam Byrd. How did your take on Byrd's mass for 4 voices go?

I just had to post this..It moved me so much when I saw it.

First performance I forgot my music, so terrible.
Second, not so bad. But it's hard to sing Byrd; he keeps you on your toes.

Chanticleer sings Tomás Luis de Victoria~Alma Redemptoris Mater
^ This music is so nice to listen to..The singers harmonise so well.

O.O You forgot your notes..That would of been so frightening.
What is it about Byrd's compositions that makes them so hard to sing?

Well I had to read off the singer beside me, and that's a hassle.

Byrd's compositions are full off odd rhythms and note changes. You really have to focus when singing Byrd.

Ah now that I really concentrate I can see what you mean. It would me hard to stay in time with the cutting in of the different harmonies at different times in the piece.







I must learn some more Welsh over the holidays so I can understand this more. It's a shame that my father only knows some basic words.

Hooray!! Thanks Iron Jones ma tsmukan.

Oh this is absolutely brilliant! I have to soak up all this beautiful music.
The last one is splendid indeed. I also really seem to be drawn to the music by Palestrina. It's very soft and seems to echo into the clouds.

I realised that there is no Nordic music in here..Here we go:
(First 2 are Swedish)












(Icelandic)













(Norwegian)

Naww you're too kind.

Thanks a bunch for the nice music!

@The Sixteen Miserere Mei Deus . At 1.40 onwards a huge chill went down my spine. I couldn't believe that a sound like that could come from anyone. It was both ethereal and beautiful.

I should put some Italian music in here too.
