'Confitebor', Benigno Zerafa(1726-1804)

The outstanding (though still insufficiently recognized) development of Maltese sacred music in the mid-eighteenth century culminated in the works of Benigno Zerafa (17261804), a highly talented priest-composer who served as maestro di cappella at the Cathedral of St Paul at Mdina from 1744 to 1786. Zerafas entire collection of sacred vocal works, with one exception, was discovered in 1969 by the then-curator of the Archives of Mdina, Mgr Rev John Azzopardi. The collection, comprising, among others, masses, Credo settings, psalms, graduals, offertories, litanies, hymns, sequences, antiphons, Holy Week responsories and motets, was transferred to the archives of the cathedral, where it was professionally catalogued and shelved. One work, a recently discovered Requiem Mass for four voices and organ, is preserved in the Archivio Crypta Sancti Pauli (CSP) at Rabat. The compositions, numbering 148, are divided into two categories (1) for voices and instruments (104), and (2) for voices and organ (44) and range, in scoring, from works for eight, five, four, three and two voices, to others for solo voice.

  • Excellent treble - no doubt about it ! He has an unusual solid color to his voice that I have not ever heard in a treble before and this is quite pleasing. I am a fan of Tolzer and of most European choirs.

  • @Amunhotep4th Great really.

  • The brilliant soprano solist here, Maximilian Hinz, is now back in TKC as a fine base singer. Can be heard in that version of "Singet dem Herren...." which was uploaded here on YTube some weeks ago by ´Jairdan´.

  • Yes I see this video. Ok It's him as bass? Thank you for this info, appreciat.

  • Intéressant . Merci !

  • Quelques auteurs de ce Manuscrit de Malte en font parti. Histoire intéressante pour comprendre et voir de quelle façon la Musique de cette époque se diffusait.
