post here your favourite musical settings of the holy Mass (or any other sacred music). It can also just be excerpts (but it must be composed by a Catholic!):
"Qui Tollis" from Zelenka's Missa Votiva in E minor
The Qui Tollis in this mass is so beautiful, I have no words to describe it.
Interesting side story behind this particular mass -
*Zelenka's "Missa votiva" was written as the fulfillment of a vow he made upon recovering from a severe illness in 1739. The autograph inscription on the cover of the score reads 'Vota mea Domino reddam. Psal: 115. Versu 5...'. The fifth verse of psalm 115 is 'vota mea Domino reddam coram populo ejus' (I will pay my vows to the Lord, before all his people).
"Miserere Mei Deus" in C minor by Zelenka
