Giacomo Carissimi Missa concertata in C

(0 Customer review)

Giacomo Carissimi, the first great master of the oratorio and author of numerous concertante motets and Italian bel canto solo cantatas, also composed several masses. The Missa concertata in C for 2 tenors (or sopranos) and bass, 2 violins and basso continuo was printed in Cologne in 1666, a fact which is regarded as of proof of the fame of this Roman master among his contemporaries throughout Europe. The work is written in concertante style, accompanied by basso continuo, as opposed to the a cappella style of writing, and today it is one of the few surviving works of this type. It can be performed entirely by soloists, or by soloists alternating with a choir.

Reviews

Giacomo Carissimi, der erste Großmeister des Oratoriums und Autor zahlreicher konzertierender Motetten und italienischer Belcanto-Solokantaten, hat auch einige Messen komponiert. Die Missa concertata in C für 2 Tenöre oder Soprane und Bass, 2 Violinen und Generalbass wurde 1666 in Köln gedruckt und gilt als Zeugnis für den zeitgenössischen europäischen Ruhm des römischen Meisters. Das Werk ist im generalbassbegleiteten konzertierenden Stil geschrieben, dem Gegenpol zur A-cappella-Schreibweise, und ist eines der wenigen heute zugänglichen Werke dieser Art. Es kann ganz in solistischer Besetzung aufgeführt werden, aber auch so, dass die Singstimmen solistisch und chorisch wechseln. Herrliche Musik, die an Monteverdi und Fux erinnert.
