Monday Musician: Agnus Dei

Posted by Soldier For Christ on December 5, 2011

Today’s Selection:

Agnus Dei (Part of the Pope Marcellus Mass) – Giovanni Palestrina

A beautiful piece from around the time of the Protestant Reformation, partially a response to the Reformers’ critiques of the way the Catholic Church treated music.  Not that you needed to know that; just a little nugget from my Music History class two years ago.  Anyway, enjoy!
