| Gabrieli, Andrea (c. 1533 - 1585) | ||
| Beata es Maria | EMP0582 | €2.00 |
| SAATB Marian Feasts - Motet general | ISMN M-2056-0582-7 | |
| Our catalogue includes many pieces by Andrea Gabrieli, whom we consider the greatest 'unknown' composer of the Renaissance. There is as yet no complete edition, and our catalogue will gradually include more of his music. Beata es Maria is a beautiful piece and a good introduction to the emotional side of his style. | ||

| SAATB Marian Feasts - Motet general | ISMN M-2056-0772-2 | |

| Beatus vir | EMP0551 | €2.00 |
| SATB Vigils of Martyrs - Magnificat Antiphon | ISMN M-2056-0551-3 | |

| SATTB General Use - Motet general | ISMN M-2056-0351-9 | |

| Caro mea | EMP0553 | €2.00 |
| SATB General Use - Communion | ISMN M-2056-0553-7 | |
| The text is especially associated with Corpus Christi, but the piece will nowadays be sung as a Communion motet. | ||
| Del gran tuonante | EMP0349 | €6.50 |
| SATBaB SATBaB Secular | ISMN M-2056-0349-6 | |
| A splendid occasional piece. Martin Morell provides the following note: The "sorella e moglie" of the "gran Tuonante" is of course Juno/Hera, and it seems that she is attempting to launch a pre-emptive strike, as it were, on an unnamed rival who is journeying on the high seas. To this end she enlists the aid of Aeolus, who unleashes Circius, the north-west wind. The scheme is foiled, however, by Nereus, and Juno is obliged to "cede the palm." Although Juno certainly had a reputation for being nasty when her jealousy was aroused, the story recounted in the sonnet has no parallel in classical mythology that I am aware of. This makes me suspect that the madrigal is an "occasional" piece, commemorating the arrival in Venice of some illustrious (and, no doubt, still queasy) female personage after a not-so-uneventful voyage. ("How about a cup of tea and a nice madrigal or two to calm your nerves, dear?") | ||

| Exaudi Deus orationem mean | EMP0797 | €3.50 |
| SATBaB Lent - Introitus | ISMN M-2056-0797-5 | |
| An unusual piece, setting the first 6 verses of Psalm 54, which seems to be set only as the Introit of the Wednesday in the 4th week of Lent. The piece bears comparison with Gabrieli's wonderful Penitential Psalms, with which it shares some remarkable word-painting and the only Latin setting I know of 'O for the wings of a dove.' | ||
| Filiae Jerusalem | EMP0554 | €2.00 |
| SATB Feasts of Martyrs in Eastertide - Motet general | ISMN M-2056-0554-4 | |
| Jubilate Deo | EMP0606 | €3.50 |
| TrSMT ATTB Psalm at Lauds | ISMN M-2056-0606-0 | |
| A splendid double-choir setting of Psalm 99 (100) from the Concerti... of 1587. Possibly composed for one of the feast days of St Mark kept in Venice with special splendour, but proper to many Feasts, and of course suitable for Anglican Matins. | ||
| Laudate Dominum in sancto ejus | EMP0552 | €3.50 |
| SSATB SATTB Holy Saturday (Easter Eve)(Karsamstag) - Psalm | ISMN M-2056-0552-0 | |
| Not the more usual Psalm 116 but Psalm 150, set for Lauds on Feasts and for the Dead, but more likely intended for a splendid Venetian celebration on Holy Saturday. The lower choir is conventionally scored, but the higher choir includes what must originally have been a cornetto, lying too high for male soprano, and thus in all probability included other instruments. | ||
| Letare Hierusalem | EMP0605 | €2.00 |
| SAATB Laetare Sunday (4th Sunday in Lent) - Introitus | ISMN M-2056-0605-3 | |
| A suitably joyful setting for the one Sunday in Lent where violet vestments are set aside. | ||
| Levavi oculos | EMP0591 | €3.50 |

| SAATBB Penitential - Psalm | ISMN M-2056-0984-9 | |

| newMiserere mei Domine | EMP1114 | €5.90 |
| SATTBaB Penitential - Psalm | ISMN M-2056-1114-9 | |
| The fourth Penitential Psalm (Ps. 50) from Gabrieli's magnificent collection of settings published in 1583. We have so far published numbers 1,4,5,6 and 7; the other two settings are in the pipeline. This version of Miserere mei Deus, the first with the original note values, replaces our earlier edition EMP0353. It is a fourth lower than the high-clef original, but is also available at other pitches. In this version the Altus, Tenor and Quintus are all printed in the octave-treble clef; EMP1115 presents the Altus in treble clef (which we think looks horrible...) | ||
| newMiserere mei Domine | EMP1115 | €5.90 |

It is a fourth lower than the high-clef original, but is also available at other pitches. In this version the Altus is in treble clef, for those who cannot read the octave clef. | ||
