Palestrina's work is often seen as a model for which type of music?

  • Church music

  • Folk music

  • Jazz

  • Rock

Answer

Church music is the primary genre associated with Palestrina's work. His compositions, particularly those for the Catholic Church, exemplify the principles of Renaissance polyphony, characterized by smooth voice leading, clear textures, and a focus on textural clarity. Palestrina's music remains a benchmark for sacred choral music, renowned for its beauty, expressiveness, and adherence to liturgical requirements.
