Effects of The Counter-Reformation On Animuccia's Music
At the same time as writing music for the Oratory, Animuccia was employed (from January 1555) as the magister cantorum of the Capella Giulia at St. Peter's Basilica. Palestrina, who was Animuccia’s predecessor at the Capella Giulia, had been promoted by Pope Julius III to the Capella Sistina. Animuccia’s most important composition for this period was his Missarum Liber Primus (1567). The importance of this book of Masses is due to the fact that its style of composition was directly affected by the liturgical reforms that took place at the Council of Trent through the influence of the Reform Commission in Rome (see below).
