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lifetime, many were composed considerably before they were published, and of the others a large quantity remained unpublished until the 19th century.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.

    Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
    Went down the list of the dead.
    Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
    The crews of the gig and yawl,
    The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
    Carpenters, coal-passers—all.
    Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)

    Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.
    Janet Frame (b. 1924)

    go barefoot
    and be warm
    all the time
    not only when you go to bed
    and sleep
    —Nikki Giovanni (b. 1943)
