That response took a turn that could never have been predicted at mid-century, when all that the leading Catholic bishops seemed to want was an intelligible liturgy. That trend, the one associated with Palestrina, could be interpreted as an attempt to meet the Lutheran reform musically on its own ground—grounds of modesty. It did not threaten the ars perfecta; on the contrary, it sought to amend and thus preserve it.
