About This Song
About "Palestrina: Missa pro defunctis: V. Agnus Dei" by Chanticleer
Palestrina's 'Agnus Dei' from the Missa pro defunctis is a meditation on release. Chanticleer lets the polyphony float like breath on cold stone, each plea for peace suspended in crystalline counterpoint. The tension is between earthly sorrow and heavenly quiet—a lamb's silence before the final door.
