SQUILT Set 3, #2 - "Missa Pange Lingua: Kyrie"


Title: "Kyrie" from Missa Pange Lingua
Artist: Josquin Des Prez
Genre: Renaissance

Notes: Missa Pange Lingua is a setting of the "ordinary" of the Catholic mass. The ordinary of the mass is the part that does not change, made up of the "Kyrie," "Gloria," "Credo," "Sanctus," and "Agnus Dei" (all Latin names). "Pange lingua" in English is a command for our tongues to sing praises to God. This work was very influential for later composers who often imitated parts of it in their own compositions.

Related Artists: Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Claudio Monteverdi, Henry Purcell, Georg Friedrich Handel

**Disclaimer: While I believe that all of the SQUILT music chosen is appropriate for classroom use, some songs may not completely align with a Christian worldview. Songs done by related artists are also not guaranteed to be in line with the values of a Christian worldview. Parents should help their children develop discernment in this area.**
