The Palestrina Choir, of Washington, D.C., was formed in 1986 to present rarely heard masterpieces of sixteenth-century liturgical music, with an emphasis on the works of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. To date, the choir has performed sixteen Masses, over seventy motets, and ten hymns of its namesake. It has devoted entire programs to works of Clemens non Papa, Lassus, Victoria, and Byrd, and performed Masses and motets by twenty of Palestrina’s predecessors. In recent years the Palestrina Choir has also begun to present historically-influenced works by later composers, such as Liszt’s Missa Choralis and Rheinberger’s Cantus Missae, op.109.
