Music!

Does anyone know what the two background hymns are in the Sistine Chapel Virtual Tour? The first one in particular is very pretty!

Don’t know for sure but it sounds very like Palestrina. It’s part of the Sanctus - Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini, Hosanna in excelsis.

Just two parts of one piece: Palestrina, Missa Papae Marcelli, “Benedictus”, youtube.com/watch?v=NJY6Gi9zGHM

Thank you all for your replies, I just bought the exact album that the music is from! I love Latin hymns!

I am glad you are enjoying, but just be aware that these are not hymns but settings of the Ordinary of the Mass.
