	Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1525-1594)
		Palestrina's music was destined for performance by the most elite cathedral choirs within the Roman Catholic sphere of influence, and his creative output contains 105 Masses, some 250 motets, several volumes of specific liturgical works (Offertories, Litanies, hymns, Magnificats and Lamentations), two books of secular madrigals and two of spiritual madrigals.
		Palestrina shunned the common practices of his time towards the musical expression of moods and tone-painting of words, choosing instead to set even quite highly-charged texts in an abstract, perhaps impersonal idiom, possessed of a beautiful equilibrium of melodic line and consonant harmonic structures.
		Therefore, while Palestrina is most often viewed as representing the climax of the school of unaccompanied contrapuntal choral music, he also had associations with the new form of homophonic music, which eventually overtook the prima prattica of the Renaissance and brought about the Baroque style of the Seventeenth Century known as the seconda prattica.

	Anne's Place \| Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina
		Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina was born at Palestrina almost certainly between February 3 1525 and February 2 1526, and died at Rome on February 2 1594.
		It states that at his death Palestrina was sixty-eight years old, and it concludes with a verse epitaph beginning 'O mors inevitabilis', a text strikingly similar to the epitaph for Josquin that had been set to music by Jheronimus Vinders and published in 1545.
		Although Palestrina's activity as a composer is wholly undocumented before his first publication in 1554, it can be asumed that during his years in Palestrina he must have begun to develop that broad knowledge of earlier and contemporary motet and mass traditions and that remarkable technical control manifest in his own works.

		But a living icon, he wasn't: Palestrina was a man of time and place who found a serenity and proportion in his art as opposed to the radical techniques that might bring more attention.
