Composer Study: Palestrina {1525-1594}

Giovannai Palestrina was an Italian composer who composed music mainly for the church. His compositions were meant for the human voice. We talked about how the vocal cords make sound and how different sounds are made from different parts of the mouth. We made a "t" sound and then a "d" sound and noticed what parts of the mouth produced the sounds. Then we listened to Palestrina's music.
