Chamber Music
Subcollection: Chamber EnsembleThe method of composition, which has recourse to existing musical material, reworking it into a new composition, figures as a central principle of occidental music history. This applies particularly to the mass and motet compositions of the Renaissance, when this method of adopting and reworking existing music represented one of the key features of musical production. An especially vivid example - which however remains singular in its appearance - for the continuous engagement with a certain musical “theme” is the English “In Nomine“ genre dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries.
This tradition started out with the six-voice mass Gloria tibi Trinitas by John Taverner (around 1495-1545), composed no later than around 1528. To the words “In nomine Domini” the section of the Benedictus (the lyrics are: “Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini” - “blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord”) has a salient four-voice section, which, as cantus firmus in the alto part, contains the antiphon “Gloria tibi Trinitas” quoted in its entirety.

Subcollection: Chamber EnsembleThirty largely original instruments in the hands of music-making angels in Freiberg Cathedral are unique evidence of Saxon musical-instrument-making in the sixteenth century. Copies were made of the angels’ instruments - cornetts, trombones, shawms, triangle, tambourine, harps, citterns, violins and lutes - during the course of a research project. Their sound can be rediscovered on this CD of late-Renaissance instrumental and vocal works from Saxony. Musica Freybergensis is a hand-picked group of musicians chosen by Music Instrument Museum of Leipzig University and Raumklang for the purpose of practical research into the sound of the Freiberg instruments. Before making this recording a number of concerts were presented over the period of a year, including one in Freiberg Cathedral, giving the musicians time to break in the instruments, to become accustomed to them, and to discover their possibilities. |

Chamber Music
Subcollection: Chamber EnsembleSalvatore Sciarrino, probably Italy's most important living composer, accepted a commission from the Italian state broadcaster RAI to compose the music for a 100-part TV series of the Divina Commedia. At the same time, he also created an orchestral version for the concert hall: Sui poemi concentrici for Soloists and Orchestra. The duration shrank to only a tenth of the original 15 hours, but the size of the forces remained the same, with the exception of the choir. |
