Time does not exist for Don Perosi. When he courteously wished to praise French musicians, the first name he chose as if it were that of a contemporary was that of Josquin, and then that of Roland de Lassus, who seems to him so great and profound a musician that he admires him most of all. And Don Perosi's universality of style is a trait that is Catholic as well as Italian.
The outline must first of all be beautiful." In his own musical architecture one finds well-marked airs, numerous recitatives, Gregorian or Palestrinian choruses, chorales with developments and variations in the old style, and intervening symphonies of some importance. The whole work is to be preceded by a grand prelude, very carefully worked out, to which Don Perosi attaches particular worth.
