Can you suggest any sacred works for my work from home playlist?

[chrisinsuffolk]

I have made a baroque compilation on Spotify to work from home and it ended up being something of a marathon to compile and organise into a coherent listening experience.

Anyhow, I wondered if anyone has some recommends for the playlist, particularly sacred works; either renaissance or baroque. I would also like to expand the renaissance section so any suggestions are most welcome.

Many thanks in advance.

Many sacred works from the renaissance and earlier than this are missing. I could not find Machaut's Mass or any works by Ockeghem e.g.

[Toni Bernet]

Heinrich Schütz (1585-1672): Veni Sancte Spiritus. Sacred concerto SWV 475, (around 1614)

Johann Hermann Schein (1586 - 1630): Spiritual Concerto: Blessed are the spiritually poor (1626)

The Stratford Magnificat and the Browne Stabat Mater from the Eton Choirbook; The Biber Rosary Sonatas; A Kuhnau Biblical Sonata; Gesualdo's Responsoria; Josquin's Stabat Mater; an elevation  toccata from Frescobaldi's Fiori Musicale; the Agnus Dei from Ludfords Missa Videte Muraculum; John Forest Alma Redemptoris Mater, the Credo from John Fayrfax's Missa Tecum Principium; The Sanctus/Benedictus from Walter Frye's Missa Nobilis et pulchra.

There's so much renaissance material, hopefully someone else has the time to make a list of picks from Ockeghem, Dufay, Josquin, Regis, de la Roux  etc

Vivaldi's sacred music is his best kept secret. The Gloria RV 589 is just the tip of the iceberg.

I have made a baroque compilation on Spotify to work from home and it ended up being something of a marathon to compile, listening all of Bach's work for example to make sure nothing was missed.

Anyhow, I wondered if anyone has some recommends for the playlist, particularly sacred works; either renaissance or baroque. I would also like to expand the renaissance section so any suggestions are most welcome.

Many thanks in advance.

Gesualdo is always a great choice!

e.g.

Biber is also not to be missed:

e.g. The Salzburg Mass

(If you have a Surround-Sound system, and can find a decent recording with that aspect, you will be thrilled!)

Following with interest, particularly for any Reformation, Prot, or directly biblical works.

Thanks so much for the suggestions so far, so much amazing new listening! So far have listened to:

Many sacred works from the renaissance and earlier than this are missing. I could not find Machaut's Mass or any works by Ockeghem e.g.

Both fantastic additions, thank you

Heinrich Schütz (1585-1672): Veni Sancte Spiritus. Sacred concerto SWV 475, (around 1614)

Johann Hermann Schein (1586 - 1630): Spiritual Concerto: Blessed are the spiritually poor (1626)

Unable to locate the Schein but the Schutz is wonderful and added thank you

The Stratford Magnificat and the Browne Stabat Mater from the Eton Choirbook; The Biber Rosary Sonatas;

Am working through your numerous suggestions and listening to various recordings, both of these are fantastic additions, am opening the Renaissance section with the Rosary Sonatas.

[Mandryka]

am opening the Renaissance section with the Rosary Sonatas.

Biber is baroque really.

[chrisinsuffolk]

Biber is baroque really.

I'll close the baroque section with it then

[Cato]

Do you really want to limit your list to works before 1800?


Try Anton Bruckner's motet: Os Iusti !

Not to be forgotten: Nuhro, by GMG Member Karl Henning!

[Christo]

[Toni Bernet]

What about this kind of spiritual music:

Roxana Panufnik: Three Paths to Peace for orchestra (2008)

Where to begin?     

Luckily, someone who knows his stuff already made a Renaissance list:
