GRAFIK SCHWEBENDE MUSIKNOTEN
No other composer of his time created vocal music that so masterfully combined textual intelligibility, clarity, and sensual beauty – and continues to inspire us to this day. Even the Romantics saw him as a supernatural force: E. T. A. Hoffmann spoke of chords that fell "like dazzling rays," Richard Wagner called his motets a "spiritual revelation," and Giuseppe Verdi honored him as the "true king of sacred music." Finally, Friedrich Nietzsche described Palestrina's works as "inexpressibly sublime and holy."
