Christmas - Respond

ISMN M-2056-1289-4 | |
| One of the best-known pieces of Giovanni Gabrieli, published in the 'Concerti di Andrea e Giovanni Gabrieli' of 1587. Its low second choir was probably performed with a solo falsettist and three sackbuts, but the piece is enirely in vocal clefs and a capella performance cannot be ruled out. This version includes an editorial organ continuo (single line). | ||

ISMN M-2056-1296-2 | |
| The piece was conceived for two groups, each with a solo voice and instruments. Thus, the high choir (Secundus Chorus) would probably have had a solo Tenor and four high instruments (strings or cornets); the low choir (called ‘Primus Chorus’ because it sings first) a solo Altus (countertenor) and four low instruments, probably trombones, with a bass trombone or curtal on the lowest part. The Basso per l’organo was not included in the original print, the source is a manuscript partbook in Augsburg written out in 1636, which includes the 1587 Concerti as well as the 1597 collection. It combines text from Isaiah 63 and Psalm 24, and was possibly composed for an extra-liturgical celebration in connection with the Feast of the Precious Blood (July 1). | ||

ISMN M-2056-1304-4 | |
| This is the first of the 4-voice pieces from Hassler’s great collection Sacri concentus of 1601 (an enlarged second edition was published in 1612). The text is a variant of Psalm 53 (54) which is often sung, for example on Maundy Thursday and Easter Saturday, and the opening verses frequently form Versicles or Verses. | ||

|
ISMN M-2056-1303-7 | |
| This is one of the 4-voice pieces from Hassler’s great collection Sacri concentus of 1601 (an enlarged second edition was published in 1612). The text is a variant of a Responsory in Ascensiontide but I have not been able to find an exact liturgical match, nor does Hassler’s setting show any signs of being a Responsory. The text derives from Mark 16, 15 and 16. | ||
