Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina: |Missa Papae Marcelli

Opus Vocale builds a bridge between Catholic and Protestant church music from the period of the Counter-reformation. This recording features music for Christmas time from the Lutheran tradition of chorales and congregational hymns, mirroring these with one of the most beautiful Catholic mass settings, the Missa Papae Marcelli by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina.
