The harrowing Old Testament story of the army commander Jephthah, bound by a sacred vow to kill his daughter, inspired the Roman composer Giacomo Carissimi to create this intense and moving setting. Written in the 1640s, Historia di Jephte is not only one of the earliest oratorios, but also one of its greatest.Scored for just six solo voices in diverse combinations accompanied by basso continuo, Carissimi presents the Latin biblical text in the recitative style of the early Baroque. He nonetheless repeatedly abandons this style to highlight the plot's tragic events, employing all expressive Affekts he had available to him. The chromatic voice-leading and thrilling harmonization of the lamentations and Jephthah’s dialogue with his doomed daughter create an intense and anguished atmosphere.While scholars believe that the choir originally consisted of six solo parts, the work does not suffer when performed by a larger ensemble. To commemorate the 350th anniversary of the composer’s death, Carus is publishing this new critical edition based on the copy made by Carissimi’s pupil, Marc-Antoine Charpentier. A continuo realization is included in the score.

These psalm settings are in the tradition of classical vocal polyphony as practiced in the modified a cappella style of the 17 th century (stylus gravis). Characteristic of this style is the continuo line, which generally doubles the vocal bass, only occasionally functioning independently. Despite its closeness to the tradition of the a-cappella style, Carissimi proves in this psalm to be a master of the artistic expression of words, which characterizes his music in the concertante style. This art is revealed here primarily in the rhythmically, highly differentiated diction of the words, which essentially distinguishes it from the flowing style of Palestrina.

With his Latin St. John Passion, written around 1770, Scarlatti strictly follows the contemporary conventions advanced for the Catholic liturgy: the continuo-supported evangelist's report is presented throughout as a monolodic recitation that is reminiscent of Carissimi and Monteverdi. Only for the words of Christ and the few four-voice choruses, as well as for some significant moments like the Judas scene or the death of Jesus, is a subtle string accompaniment added. An alternate German text is printed below the original Latin. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.1000700.

UPC: 888680897741. 5.0x5.0x0.177 inches. Samuel Crossman/John Leavitt. Luke 23:26-43, Mark 15:16-32, Matthew 27:32-56.
With arching gestures of melodic charm, this octavo presents one of sacred literature's most compelling texts. The piece uses an optional soprano solo with vocal parts providing an orchestra-like tapestry of sound to undergird the expressive main theme. Later the anthem takes on a dramatic turn as jubilant hosannas turn to rabble cries of crucify! before retuning to its lofty theme. A stunning and dramatic choice for Good Friday.

This well-known text and tune for Good Friday is artfully arranged here by Paul Monachino. Alternating between stanzas supported by organ accompaniment and a cappella passages, this piece is at once beautifully reflective and powerfully moving.
