    Palestrina "Pope Marcellus Mass"

    Palestrina "Pope Marcellus Mass"
    The legend of this mass began in the 17th century. It claims that the Mass saved the polyphonic church music from being banned. Legend suggests that Palestrina composted the mass in response to a threat from the Council of Trent to ban polyphony because the words were difficult to understand. The Mass's simple and attentive style convinced Cardinal Carlo Borromeo that polyphony could be intelligible.
