SATB choir, a cappella

SKU: C5.7001

Composed by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. Edited by Andrea Angelini. Text: Graduale Romanum. Renaissance treasure. Marian, Advent, Christmas. Octavo. Published by CanticaNOVA Publications (C5.7001).

This motet is part of our "Treasury of Sacred Music" Series, a collection of choral gems about which Vatican Council II was speaking in Sacrosanctam concilium: "The treasury of sacred music is to be preserved and cultivated with great care." The traditional Marian antiphon for Advent and Christmas is set by one of the finest Renaissance composers, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, often called "The Savior of Church Music." The voice ranges and level of difficulty are well within the scope of most SATB choirs. This motet is a testament to Palestrina's compositional skill and will make any choir sounds its best.
