Hymns by
Giovanni de Palestrina
pre-date those of Bach by
over a century and
incorporate the great
polyphonic tradition of
Renaissance writing. The
compositions used in this
suite are from a
collection published in
1589 titled Hymns of the
Entire Year, and
incorporate antiphonal
choral effects that lend
themselves particularly
well to instrumental
settings. John Moss uses
richly contrasting tone
colors and textures as
well as characteristic
modal tonalities in this
wonderful setting for
band. (3:30).
