Palestrina, Perosi and Plenty of Pallia at Papal Mass for Peter and Paul

Updated on 1 July 2012

Courtesy of Papal Music, here are videos of the pieces I refer to in my previous post, and a few more of interest.

Introit - very impressive, sung by a group of men from the Cappella Sistina

N

unc scio vere, quia misit Dóminus Angelum suum:

et erípuit me de manu Heródis,

et de omni exspectatióne plebis Iudæórum.

Ps. Dómine, probásti me, et cognovísti me:

tu cognovísti sessiónem meam, et resurrectiónem meam.

N

ow I know that the Lord really has sent his Angel,

and has delivered me out of the hands of Herod,

and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.

Ps. O Lord, you have searched me and known me;

you know when I sit down and when I rise up.
