Mass for St Agapitus

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Palestrina took the name by which he is normally known from the city where he was born. The cathedral there is dedicated to St Agapitus, and this programme reconstructs Mass as it would have been celebrated there in the mid-16th century. Palestrina's Missa Ecce Sacerdos was dedicated to the Bishop, who became Pope as Julius III. Red Byrd
