This is one of my favorites of Gesualdo's sacred works. Thank you for posting it. I love how his harmonic progressions pull at what my mind is used to predicting. I also love every time he choose to repeat certain words and phrases (O Maria, Pro nobis, etc.). What a timeless masterpiece!

Beautiful music from the pen of one who later was so personally tormented by guilt after murdering his wife and her lover.

I first heard this piece bieng rehearsed by a choir in the Duomo in Siena on a trip to
Italy in the early 1990's. They were preparing for holy week culminating on Easter
Sunday.I was in my mid twentys and thought I was hip for listening to world
music, things like Dead Can Dance. Boy was I humbled! I had never heard the likes of it and was amazed to learn that its composer had lived between the
late 16th and early 17th centuries. The human voice as an instrument, simply
stunning!

I think that that is the most beautiful motet of Gesualdo. Although I had found that in the CD of Talils Scolars 25 years ago, it seems that this performance is the best. Thank you very much, Ramatganski.

Q lindoooooooo!!!!!
*.*!!!
Es una pieza hermosaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
The first slide should be translated: "Hail, O sweetest Mary" not "receive our adoration, o beloved Mary". Adoration is the English version of "latria" and means the worship given to God, not to Mary.
