Written Assignment 7 is in two parts:
1. Describe the specific characteristics of Luther’s chorale and how it was used in the Protestant service. Then describe a present-day religious song style that reflects similar characteristics and functions as those of the chorale.
2. Identify specific characteristics of Palestrina’s compositional style. Then describe how Byrd’s Agnus Dei (watch and listen to the YouTube video listed under Study Materials) reflects the influence of Palestrina’s style.
