medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I'd be surprised if a CD didn't become available eventually of music of the
papal funeral.
To my old but untrained ear, the Litany and many of the other parts of the
Mass (used to be called the "common," I think) were plain old Greg chant. I
could sing along in Latin with the choir on most of those. (Gee, do I miss
that tangible sign of the catholicity of the Church...). I _thought_ I
recognized a Palestrina something, but don't remember what. "In paradisum"
was also a traditional melody, Greg chant if memory serves, as was the
"Pater noster." We still use the melody but with English lyrics, of course.
The "Alleluia" _may_ be associated with Eastertide. We sing it, but only at
this season. I thought I heard the Paschal Sequence as well. I know this is
nothing like an official playlist, but if one doesn't become available, and
with the help of other list members, you may be able to piece together one
of your own. I taped the whole thing and still have it, so if there are any
specific questions, contact me off-list and I'll try to find an answer for
you or anyone else who's interested.
