Description: Renaissance manuscripts.
From Gregorian Chant to Opera's Origins Throughout the Renaissance, music formed a central element in the activities of the curia and a bright thread in the rich tapestry of Roman religious and artistic life. The singers and composers of the papal choir -- recruited at first from northern Europe, but in the sixteenth century chiefly from Spain and Italy -- appeared at daily services in the Vatican Palace and on greater occasions in the Sistine Chapel. They performed both the traditional chants of the Middle Ages, using splendid chant manuscripts, a few of which are exhibited here, and modern, polyphonic music of great richness and difficulty.
