Charles Villiers Stanford Three Motets op. 38

(0 Customer review)

The three Latin Motets from the late 1880s have long been a standard repertoire of British choirs and have often been recorded on CD. And yet, although the Anglo-Irish composer Charles Villiers Stanford is no longer unknown in Germany, they remain an insider's tip. The motets are true miniatures of a cappella music. Due to their fine motivic structure, effective antiphonal groupings, and clear harmonics, they produce tremendous sound effects in a small space.

Sir Charles Villiers Stanford was an Irish composer who spent most of his life as a professor at Cambridge University. Alongside Edward Elgar, for example, he made a decisive contribution to the renewal of English music that took place at the end of the 19th century.

... Die Motetten sind echte Miniaturen der A-capella-Musik. Durch ihre feine motivische Struktur, wirkungsvolle antiphonale Gruppierungen und klare Harmonik entfalten sie auf kleinem Raum große Klangeffekte.

... Mittlere Schwierigkeit und gewiss attraktiv für die Verwenung in Liturgie wie Konzert!
