Giovanni Gabrieli (1557-1612) - In Ecclesiis, mottetto a 14

[trentemaier]

Très belle pièce!! Complexe à jouer, belle performance, notamment des voix, parce que pour passer au dessus de tous ces vents, bonjour!!

[jackal59]

This makes an interesting contrast with the *huge* forces of the Biggs/Edward Tarr etc. recording at San Marco, where the tempo is slowed to milk the reverberations. I like both and don't doubt that this performance is probably more authentic, but I think I prefer the other (probably because of familiarity - I've been listening to it for nearly 40 years!).

the soprano has a great sound but she looks soooo bored

[DanceMyStyle]

Whenever there is one, I can't help but shout 'TIERCE DE PICARDIE'.

[theprof1958]

@DanceMyStyle

Thank you for this information. This means that the last "alleluia" are in minor key?

[WilliamWozzeck]

@theprof1958 Tierce de picardie (or picardy third) is a minor phrase that ends on a chord I, but with the third sharpened.

[PurgatoryShift]

@theprof1958 The last alleluia cadance ends in A major making it a tierce de picarde to the previous A minor. :)

[Aang1]

@theprof1958 it means the song is in major, but the final chord is major.

[WilliamWozzeck]

@DanceMyStyle ME TOO! They're so satisfying.

[LasoNich]

Translation: In churches bless ye the Lord. Hallelujah. In every place of (his) dominion, bless the Lord, O my soul. Hallelujah. In God is my salvation and my glory. God is my help, and my hope is in God. Hallelujah. Our God, we call upon you; we praise you; we worship you. Free us; save us; give us life. Hallelujah. God is our helper forever. Hallelujah.

Yes - but what point is tone if there's no spirit? She sounds and looks utterly bored and this is celebratory music.

[ChrisTheGregory]

The soprano's pure tone is perfect for this style. I'm also really enamored of the tempo in which they take the triple sections, since it feels much more like an actual prolation than a simple time signature change.

[janmoeyaert1]

@ChrisTheGregory The 'soprano' is Helen Cassano and she's actually a mezzo-soprano, and she's my wife. Yes, I beam with pride :-)

[gajda1984]

Love the sound of those dulcians!

[AlainNaigeon]

@gajda1984 and so do I!

search for

catello sonata 10 dulcian (on my channel, the first link with the tree), and enjoy the incredible sound !

[IlBaroneSengir]

Paulin Bundgen is the countertenor.

[violinmaster3687]

The conductor looks like Voldemort

[AlainNaigeon]

@violinmaster3687 Who is Voldemort ?

[violinmaster3687]

@AlainNaigeon Google Lord Voldemort...like from Harry Potter. He just reminds me of him because of his cool shaved head

[jpstenino]

The scholarship, work and dedication required to produce this performance is mind boggling.

[Trumscheit]

Wunderschöne Instrumente, tonal ausbalanciert - richtig toll!

[DidoneAbbandonata]

Latin text: In ecclesiis benedicite Domino. Alleluia. In omni loco dominationis benedic anima mea Dominum. Alleluia. In Deo salutari meo et gloria mea. Deus auxilium meum, et spes mea in Deo est. Alleluia. Deus noster, te invocamus; te laudamus; te adoramus. Libera nos; salva nos; vivifica nos. Alleluia. Deus adiutor noster in aeternum. Alleluia.
