Salve Sancta Parens CD

Sebastiano da Fabriano, Giovanni Perluigi da Palestrina and Pedro Perianez

MIssa Salve Sancta Parens is taken from Sebastiano da Fabriano's only other documented work, Liber primus missarum, published in 1593, and decicated to the then superior general of the Camaldolese order, Simeoni Perusino.

The books contain 4 masses on Marian themes, all modelled on chant paraphrases. Missa Regina caeli, Missa Ave Regina and Missa Alma Redemptoris are scored for 5 vioces, 3 of which survive. As the only 6 voice Mass, Missa Salve Parens is a little easier to reconstruct.
