The fifty-sixth classical recording: #18 Tomas Luis de Victoria - O Magnum Mysterium
Two short pieces today, both choral. O Magnum Mysterium again has this mystical quality, long notes heading into something that, for the time, is faster. As always, meaning gets lost a bit, but that relative variety sets this apart and makes it more interesting.
The fifty-seventh classical recording: #19 Francisco Guerrero - Battle Mass
Unlike other masses and religious songs in the list so far, this mass is chaotic. While there's a structure to the different voices, they don't all line up, creating a more chaotic, almost more aggressive sound - lining up with the purpose of the mass. It's an unexpected sound, pleasing and more interesting to listen to as it feels there's always a bit more going on. It flattens out later on, but it's an interesting sound nonetheless.
