Description:
Immerse yourself in the magnificent sound world of the Venetian Baroque: with 'Confitebor Primo' (SV 265) from the celebrated collection *Selva morale et spirituale*, Claudio Monteverdi created a masterpiece of unparalleled expressive power. This setting of Psalm 111 captivates through the masterful contrast between intimate solo passages (alto, tenor, bass) and powerful tutti sections of the five-part mixed choir (SSATB). The work offers great flexibility in performance: it can be realized purely with voices and basso continuo, or enriched by an ensemble of five instruments. This premium Urtext full score from Carus-Verlag provides conductors and ensembles with a scholarly, reliable musical text that brings Monteverdi's visionary sacred music to life in all its baroque splendor.
