Among Palelestrina's Masses, The Pope Marclus Mass Analysis

This type of reading is natural for a poem that contains a refrain. Usually the whole group says the refrain and one person speaks the other lines or the group can speak the lines, and one or two people the refrain.

During the middle Ages, the Catholic Church was the sole contributor to musical development. The music of the early church was monophonic, and had nonmetric melodies set in one of the church modes, or scales. The rise or development of polyphony came about during the Renaissance period; the Council of Trent wanted polyphonic church music to be created and Palestrina composed the Pope

The “Angus Dei” by Machaut and the “Kyrie” by Palestrina are both kinds of Gregorian Chants written in the Middle Ages and Renaissance, respectively. As with many works of the time, these were written for and by the Catholic Church, which is evident as seen by the style of the pieces. Both pieces feature a choral line, the former in triple meter and the latter in duple meter, as is typical of such chants, however they differ in that the “Agnus Dei” is a more complex polyphony whereas the “Kyrie” is much simpler. This allows for the spiritual meaning of the words to be better heard and conveyed during mass in the “Kyrie”, possibly a response to complaints on polyphonic chants by the Council of Trent. The former can be seen as having dissonant

The works of art that will be compared in this paper are Giotto, Lamentation (c1304-5), and Rogier van der Weyden, Deposition (c. 1435). Although the two artists use different media and style, they share the same topic: the story of the lamentation of Christ from the Holy Bible. The story of lamentation of Christ can be summarized as following: due to the betrayal of the Judas, Christ was arrested and crucified. Both drawings illustrate the scene of the deposition of Christ. These drawings demonstrate the naturalism by using emotional effect.

This text begins by offering an insightful quote into Alexander Pope’s life: "Who is this Pope that I hear so much about?" said George II; "I cannot discover what his merit is. Why will not my subjects write in prose? I hear a great deal, too, of Shakespeare, but I cannot read him, he is such a bombast fellow". The author then proceeds to present an account of his early life.

Palestrina was a member of the choir until he married. He broke the celibate rule for members; therefore, the church kicked him out of the choir. Although he was no longer a member for the choir, he still wrote compositions for the choir. Palestrina wrote many different compositions. He built up his predecessor’s craft and refined them. His work is the pinnacle of renaissance polyphony. His most important work is the Missa Papae Marcelli which saved polyphony music from being discarded from the Roman Catholic Church. The Council of Trent decided the church music was getting to the point where no one could understand the words. After hearing Missa Papae Marcelli the council decided the words could be understood and should be kept; therefore, saving the polyphony

In the beginning of the 20th century, Pope Pius X had initiated a liturgical movement, in which he wrote a document in 1903 on sacred music entitled “Tra le sollectitudini,” (Hitchcock). In the Second Vatican Council, the fathers produced the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, which was their first work. This Constitution was entitled Sacrosanctum Concilium (1963). In the Constitution, the fathers described the use of liturgy as vital in Catholic life, thus calling for liturgical reform. This reform stressed that active participation of the laity, so that the liturgy would become a central part of each faithful Catholic’s life because the real objective of this reform of the liturgy was for it to become central. Jane Mary Murray is just one

The missal of Pope St. Pius V contains the prayers for all masses that would be conducted during the year in the Catholic Church. This was in accordance with the Council of Trent’s (1545-63) wishes that local variations on the mass would be halted and that a standardization of the mass be enforced (Wolff, 66). The

On September the 10th, I visited St. Therese of Lisieux’s Saturday evening mass. Before attending this mass, this summer I had the opportunity to attend a Catholic Mass during a trip California. Because of this previous experience and the reading detailing the meaning behind each part of Mass, I was able to more clearly understand the workings of the service. Additionally, with regards to the Erickson essay, I learned how to differentiate between Catholic mass and Zwinglian view of the Lord’s supper.

It is inevitable to be surrounded by sounds. No matter where you go, there will never be a place without sound. This is precisely why causal and deep listening are both necessary skills to have. In my paper I will address the theme of how deep listening makes us better understand the world and the importance of adhering to both causal listening and deep listening. I intend to show that by analyzing the differences in causal listening and deep listening and by referencing the works of Hendy, Chion, and Novak, as well as my own personal experiences.

The Chorus often speaks in this way at the end of a scene to clarify what has just gone on. (e.g. at the end of the first scene, the chorus clarifies the diseased state that the city of Thebes has descended into: "Still breeding plague, unpitied infants lie...and wives and mothers, grey with hoary age...by every alter mourn.")

On November 2, I was delighted to attend “Solemn Mass for the Dead on the Feast of All Souls” at St. James Cathedral. Now I still feel highly honored to hear Maurice Duruflé’s Requiem—one of the most beautiful and greatest musical works of the 20th century. As an international student from China and have no religion belief, it’s totally brand new and unusual experience for me to have this special chance to open my eyes widely to see the magnificent church. This opportunity is of great benefit to me to learn Catholic Church and acquaintance with religious faith.
