I'm pleased to present the next completed section of my next Mass setting for my parish choir. The Benedictus is arranged here for 5 voices, SSABB to better align with the voices we have in the choir. The vocal rendition is made using cantamus.app

⁣Sanctus - Missa Brevis Quinque Vocibus by Cavoto
This is a much shorter and simpler setting of the Sanctus compared to yesterday's video. It's part of a pair of polyphonic Mass settings I'm working on for my singers at church.

My choir has several men in it, but none are tenors. So, to sing polyphony like Palestrina's, you need to write your own for the actual voices you're working with.
This recording was made using cantamus.app to render the text.

It's still possible for contemporary composers to write sacred polyphony in the same style as Palestrina, Victoria, and Byrd. But, few are willing to give it a try and they often mix in elements of later periods if they do. This Mass setting is written so that it would be perfectly indistinguishable from one written in the 16th century. Leave a comment to let me know what you think please.
