Voices of Connection: 07/31 Palestrina: Agnus Dei I

This sublime movement from Palestrina’s most famous Mass is a perfect example of Palestrina’s serene, flowing, spiritually elevated style. Each individual vocal line rises and falls on its own, while at the same time combines with all the other vocal lines to create those wonderful soaring sonorities, the rise and fall of the whole ensemble of voices. I find myself listening to this piece multiple times, because its peaceful world takes me away from this terribly difficult time we are living through. I hope it will provide some peace for you, too.
