newBenedictus Dominus Deus…Benedicti qui pugnant. EMP1008 €10.00
SATB ATTB Scoring legend ISMN M-2056-1008-1 
A text found in no other setting, its belligerent - indeed pugnacious - character makes it apparent that it was written either for the annual Lepanto commemoration, or - most likely - to celebrate the Habsburg victory at Sisak in 1593. The source collection, Croce's first book of double-choir motets of 1594, was dedicated to Raimondo Della Torre, the Ambassador to Venice of the Holy Roman Empire. Here offered as a set of parts (each choir consisting of cornett, 2 sackbuts and bass sackbut or curtal/dulcian) to be played with the voices.
This item is a part of:

newBuccinate EMP1004 €10.00
SATB SATB Scoring legend Ascension - Motet general ISMN M-2056-1004-3 
A splendid piece appropriate for the Ascension but presumably originally written for the annual Lepanto celebration at S. Giustina, for which the phrase 'exultate Deo adjutori nostro' would have been very apposite. Here offered as a set of parts (each choir consisting of cornett, 2 sackbuts and bass sackbut or curtal/dulcian) to be played with the voices.

SATB SATB Scoring legend Motet general ISMN M-2056-1005-0 
A splendid piece making full use of the instrumental references in the text - tympanis, citharis, cymbalis... This performing edition is offered a 4th lower than the high-clef original. Here offered as a set of parts (each choir consisting of cornett, 2 sackbuts and bass sackbut or curtal/dulcian) to be played with the voices.

Croce provided settings of all five 'Cinque Laudate' psalms in his Vespertina collection. This setting of the 'other' Laudate psalm (which is also sung at the Office of the Dead) is from the Motetti 8 voci of 1594. Here offered as a set of parts (each choir consisting of cornett, 2 sackbuts and bass sackbut or curtal/dulcian) to be played with the voices.

newThree Motets Op. 38 EMP0996 €7.00
General Use - Anthem ISMN M-2056-0996-2 
This is a reprint of the first edition (1905) of the famous pieces - Justorum animae, Coelos ascendit hodie, Beati quorum via integra est - which have won such firm places in the repertoire of English church choirs. Harold Copeman established that the pieces were all written to be sung before dinner at Trinity College, Cambridge and were influenced by Prof. HAJ Munro, who was promoting a new school Latin - so that an (English) school Latin pronunciation should ideally be used. The pieces are also available separately: see separate entries for scorings.
