i love palestrina

I have a couple of clients that are having ceremonies in beautiful cathedrales but want something a little different than the standard repertoire and we have to keep in mind that the music still needs to meet the guidelines of the church.

I absolutely adore music in latin and it has sent me on a search in quest of angelic holiness.

I've renewed my love for Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. (1525 - 1594) An Italian Renaissance composer of sacred music. His Sicut Cervus is literally devine.
