Giovanni da Palestrina, Italian Composer

Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1525 or 1526-1594) was an Italian Renaissance composer of sacred music. He had a lasting influence on the development of church music, and his work has often been seen as the culmination of Renaissance polyphony. 20th and 21st century scholarship retains the view that Palestrina was a strong and refined composer whose music represents a summit of technical perfection.
