he CanticaNOVA Publications Palestrina Award is presented annually to an individual who shows outstanding dedication to CanticaNOVA Publications and the company's key guiding principle: to renew the role of traditional music in contemporary Catholic liturgy.
The award is named for Renaissance composer, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, whose brilliant career in Rome gained him the title "Savior of Church Music."
He is credited with a spiritual reform of liturgical music, helping to purge secular influences and return church music to a holy and inspirational state.
It is our pleasure to present the recipients of the CanticaNOVA Publications Palestrina Award:
