    Is anyone else making plans for the Palestrina quincentenary?

    I've been pondering the 1589 Hymnary and sketching a plan to perform all of it at Vespers but I'm also thinking about a mass or masses for our parish choir. Usually we start Ordinary Time with a Benedictus (Schubert E-flat) and an Agnus (Byrd a 4) at the Offertories for Baptism & OT 2 (in a parish with no tradition of choral Ordinaries-yet). I've had trouble coming up with SATB settings by Palestrina, though Regina caeli has a 4vv Benedictus and perhaps we can manage the 6vv Tu es Petrus Dona nobis. Am I missing other non-3vv/5vv mass movements though?

    Yes. Candlemas, at least the Missa Papae Marcelli. TBD if the choir does the Lumen ad revelationem gentium for the blessing. More to come after that I hope.

    Pope Marcellus for Candlemas.

    Stabat Mater for September 15th (don't go copying us on that one too, Roth!)
