Giovanni Palestrina (1525-1594) Palestrina’s "Missa Papae Marcelli," particularly the "Gloria," exemplifies the clarity and balance sought by the Counter-Reformation. Palestrina’s approach to text intelligibility and harmonic purity influenced not only sacred music of his time but also served as a model for future generations, including the Baroque and Classical periods.

Laudamus te.
Benedicimus te.
Adoramus te.
Glorificamus te.
Gratias agimus tibi propter magnam gloriam tuam.
Domine Deus, Rex caelestis,

Domine Fili unigenite, Jesu Christe.
Domine Deus, Agnus Dei,
Filius Patris.
Qui tollis peccata mundi,
miserere nobis.
Qui tollis peccata mundi,
suscipe depecationem nostram.
Qui sedes ad dexteram Patris,
miserere nobis.
Quoniam tu solus sanctus.
Tu solus Dominus.
Tu solus Altissimus.
Jesu Christe, cum Sancto Spiritu
in gloria Dei Patris.

Thou that takest away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us.
Thou that takest a way the sins of the world,
receive our prayer.
Thou that sittest at the right hand of the Father,
have mercy on us.
For thou alone art holy.
Thou only art the Lord.
Thou alone art most high.
Jesus Christ, along with the Holy Spirit
in the glory of God the Father.
Amen.
