List of Compositions By Giovanni Pierluigi Da Palestrina

This is a list of compositions by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, sorted by genre. The volume (given in parentheses for motets) refers to which volume of the Breitkopf & Härtel complete edition in which the work can be found. Six of the volumes of masses and some of his motets and other works were published in these editions during Palestrina's lifetime. Others were collected later, from papal choirbooks and other sources. The dates of most pieces are unknown, unless it is known to have been composed in connection with some celebration. Of those works published during Palestrina's lifetime, many were composed considerably before they were published, and of the others a large quantity remained unpublished until the 19th century.

The 32 volumes of Palestrina's collected works were published by Breitkopf & Härtel between 1862 and 1907. The volumes of the masses maintain the works in the previously published volumes of masses (with the Collected Works Vol. 10 corresponding to the first book of Masses, etc.). Some of the pieces in the last three volumes, 30-32, are considered spurious or doubtful.

    Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of women’s issues.
    Charlotte Bunch (b. 1944)

    I made a list of things I have
    to remember and a list
    of things I want to forget,
    but I see they are the same list.
    Linda Pastan (b. 1932)

    and I really hope no white person ever has cause to write about me
    because they never understand Black love is Black wealth and
    they’ll
    probably talk about my hard childhood and never understand that
    all the while I was quite happy.
    —Nikki Giovanni (b. 1943)
