  1. Nice. You preempted my “all things Gregorian chant” post — I’ll add that to the mix this weekend.

  2. Those are fighting words, sir. If you ever call Palestrina Gregorian chant ever again, I am shipping your sorry Finnish self back to the Faroe Islands.

  3. Everything I know comes from wikipedia, so occasionally I might get things wrong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marian_antiphons

  4. Ok, Alma Redemptoris Mater *is* an example of early liturgical music, but Palestrina’s arrangement, which is really at issue, is clearly an example of Renaissance polyphony. Too much performativity in Helsinki, not enough performance.
