Week 2 Listening 3

Missa Assumpta Est Maria, For 6 Voices: Graduale: Propter Veritatem, by Palestrina
This seems like the typical chant. I'm not sure why Palestrina keeps popping up. I think that pandora has thrown some gregorian chant into the medieval station.

O Viridissima Virga, Antiphon: O Viridissima virga, Antiphon
This is a pretty, and solemn music. Females only. I'm noticing a trend that music of this period is either all male or all female. This piece in particular is not secular, I don't think, but it seems as though even the secular songs are not coed.
