opis

The Missa Æterna Christi Munera for four voices, the first in the series, is frequently performed for its brevity, simplicity, and variety.

It belongs to the Liber Quintus Missarum, composed in 1590 and dedicated to Duke Wilhelm V of Bavaria; the collection consists of eight masses—four for four voices, two for five, and two for six.

This composition is written in the fifth key (with a B in the key signature) and follows the style of the cyclical mass (antiphonal or hymnal), so named for the recurring themes taken from an antiphon or hymn that appear throughout the composition, each time transfigured and shaped to best express the qualities of the piece. This mass is based on the Gregorian chant of the morning hymn for the Feast of the Apostles (Commune Apostolorum).

Palestrina created various themes from this melody that run throughout the entire composition, lending it great expressiveness and unity. What follows is a series of motets from his best-known works, which are linked to the most important feasts of the church year.

Works:

•Palestrina: Masses, Book 5, Missa Aeterna Christi munera
