Toelichting:
The 5 motets for double choir (high and low) in this bundle are taken from part books in the library of Bologna, published by Giacomo Vincenti in 1599, called Concerti Ecclesiastici, motets for the church. (Vincenti was one of the three major music publishers in Venice, together with Gardano and Scotto.) The book cover calls the collection libro secondo, the second book. It contains 20 motets for 5, 6, 7, 8 and 12 voices. The five motets presented here have not been transcribed yet, and are new in modern notation. The other 15 are available elsewhere.
The motets were dedicated to Sigismundo Bathoreo, Duke of Transsylvania, Moldavia Transalpina and Wallachia (in today’s Romania, then a part of Hungary). The style is typical Venetian from that time: the technique of cori spezzati: choirs in different balconies in St. Mark’s basilica, giving the music the beautiful spatial character. The choirs singing alternately and taking the final chord of the other choir for a start. Always very festive and abundant. Never boring indeed!
