Parce Domine - Obrecht

Here is the "Parce Domine," written by Jacob Obrecht in the 15th century. He uses the traditional Gregorian melody, but compliments it with renaissance influences. I think you will enjoy it. The text is based on the Book of Joel.

That was quite beautiful and just what this soul needed today. Thank you so much.

To Bishop Clark, From His Humble Servants:

"Prince of degredations, bought and sold,
These verses, written in your crumbling sty,
Proclaim the faith that I have held and hold,
And publish that in which I mean to die."
