| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina |
 | | In the dedication of his setting of the Canticle of Canticles to Gregory XIII, he expresses not only regret but repentance, for having caused scandal by this publication. | | | Haberl's studies of the archives conclusively demolished these fictions, but their continued repetition for nearly two hundred years emphasizes the fact of Palestrina's activity, inspired by St. Philip and encouraged by St. | | | Philip Neri, but there is every reason to believe it was in early youth. |

| | It is probable, however, that Palestrina was quite conscious of the needs of intelligible text in conformity with the doctrine of the Counter-Reformation, and wrote his works towards this end from the 1560s until the end of his life. | | | Palestrina had a tremendous influence on the development of Roman Catholic church music, and his work can be seen as a summation of Renaissance polyphony. | | | Palestrina, his name derived from his probable place of birth, was one of the principal composers of the late 16th century, his style taken as a model by later generations. |

| | Palestrina - definition of Palestrina in Encyclopedia |
| | Palestrina (ancient Praeneste) was and is a very ancient city of Latium (modern Lazio) 23 m. | | | In 1297 the Colonna family, who then owned Praeneste (Palestrina), revolted from the pope, but in the following year the town was taken by Papal forces and razed to the ground. | | | In the modern piazza the steps leading up to this latter basilica and the base of a large monument were found in 1907; so that only a part of the piazza represents the ancient forum. |
