ISMN M-2056-0548-3 | |
| A three-part piece from the Cantiones Sacrae of 1625. The text, like many in the collection, was derived by Andreas Musculus from the Meditationes of Pseudo-Augustinus. This piece is rooted in the 17th century pietistic literature which in spirit stood beneath the Cross and proclaimed its own guilt. A challenging piece to understand or perform. | ||

ISMN M-2056-0547-6 | |
| A two-part piece from the Cantiones Sacrae of 1625. The text is from the Song of Songs and receives here a wonderfully light Italian treatment in contrast to other pieces from the same collection. | ||

SATB
Penitential
|
ISMN M-2056-0625-1 | |
| This, surely the most penitential of the motets in Schütz' Cantiones Sacrae, is in many ways striking. Its text, alone of the collection, is derived from the Catholic liturgy, where it is closely related to a Respond at Matins for the Dead. The piece takes its place in the series taking their inspiration from Savonarola's famous meditation 'Infelix ego,' on Psalm 51 (Miserere mei Deus), which includes settings by Andrea Gabrieli, Lassus and Merulo. This version is at the original pitch (a minor). | ||

Office of the Dead - Respond
|
ISMN M-2056-0766-1 | |
| This, surely the most penitential of the motets in Schütz' Cantiones Sacrae, is in many ways striking. Its text, alone of the collection, is derived from the Catholic liturgy, where it is closely related to a Respond at Matins for the Dead. The piece takes its place in the series taking their inspiration from Savonarola's famous meditation 'Infelix ego,' on Psalm 51 (Miserere mei Deus), which includes settings by Andrea Gabrieli, Lassus and Merulo. This version is offered a tone higher than the original. | ||

SATB
Passiontide - Motet general
|
ISMN M-2056-0621-3 | |
| The first piece in the Cantiones Sacrae. A sombre and intense piece, reminiscent not only in its text of Gabrieli (who was Schütz' teacher.) It is also suitable for Feasts and Votive masses of the Holy Cross, the Holy Name and the Precious Blood, and in Holy Week. | ||
