Description:
The Musica Dei donum series makes accessible to performers a variety of interesting and generally lesser-known Renaissance vocal works. The titles in the series are presented in practical format, with the aim of retaining a 'clean' text on the page that is authentic to the original manuscripts while at the same time offering performance suggestions for those who wish to consider them. for AATBarBarB double choir unaccompanied The setting was originally published in the year of Lassus' death (1594) and comes from his mature voice. Although it is economical in expression, it is rich and sonorous in sound and brought alive by the six-part counterpoint. It truly brings the text 'Music is a gift from God' to life.
