Description:
Heinrich Schütz's deeply moving sacred concerto "Fili mi, Absalon" (SWV 269) stands as one of the most evocative masterpieces of the early Baroque era. King David's heartbreaking lament over the death of his son unfolds with incomparable emotional intensity, underscored by the unique, rich sonic coloration of a solo low voice (bass), four trombones, and basso continuo (alternatively playable with two violins and two trombones). Published by Carus-Verlag, this premium set of instrumental parts in the Dorian mode includes both the Latin original and a singable German text. An essential addition to any concert program, Passiontide performance, or early music repertoire looking for profound expressive depth.
