Description:
With 'Fili mi, Absalon' (SWV 269), Heinrich Schütz created one of the most moving and sonically captivating masterworks of the early Baroque. King David’s heart-wrenching lament for his fallen son unfolds an incomparably solemn and poignant atmosphere through its extraordinary instrumentation: a rich, low bass voice blends with the warm, dark resonance of four trombones (alternatively 2 violins and 2 trombones) and basso continuo. This high-quality score edition from the renowned Carus-Verlag presents the work in the Dorian mode and includes both the original Latin text and a singable German translation ('Ach mein Sohn, Absalon'). An essential repertoire highlight for passionate bass soloists and brass ensembles seeking to bring profound emotional depth and Baroque splendor to the concert stage.
