Monteverdi - Mass for 4 voices, SV 190 (1650, posth.)

[@nicolamanca7465]

Una musica stupenda, evidentemente scritta da un compositore vero, che possedeva un grande controllo del contrappunto più rigoroso. Un prodotto che, fulgido esempio artistico del più alto pensiero cristiano, vive di Bellezza, Bontà e Giustezza. E non a caso non necessita di grandi Voci (seppure le meriterebbe) per emanare ed effondere le sue virtù. Una musica che sta a distanze siderali rispetto a gran parte delle composizioni attuali, poiché conosce in profondità le proprie radici e da esse trae linfa viva. Grazie per averla postata

It seems Monteverdi was able to achieve as much expressiveness, variety, and spirituality in his unaccompanied Masses as in his great works for chorus and instruments. At least Philippe Herreweghe and ensemble here convince me of this. Do others agree or disagree?

[@MitchBoucherComposer]

I agree. I'm recently discovering Monteverdi's works and I find them to be among the most beautiful, expressive pieces from the Baroque era. Truly he was someone to be admired.

[@MitchBoucherComposer]

@Lunar Orbit Technically he's at the tail-end of the Renaissance, and the beginning of the Baroque. The renaissance lasted around 100 years (maybe? more?) and the Baroque began around 1600.

[@brahmeshvaram2862]

@@MitchBoucherComposer I just read a channel description in another Monteverdi video that stated his first four books of madrigals were Renaissance, and Book 5 and after were Baroque. He was one of those who created/started Baroque music. He was attacked for this, by those who accused him for 'not following the rules.' He responded by calling his music "the New Music" that didn't always follow those rules. He also wrote at length of the politics of musical composition of his time, which scholars still study.

I doubt that the changes of time are per the original. They're probably an editorial addition. Nevertheless, they are a big help.

[@Grabyrdy]

Certainly some of the ones towards the end of the Credo obscure rather than help understand what Monteverdi wrote. But the triple time movements (Et resurrexit, Confiteor, Hosanna etc.) are in the original. On the other hand, the frequent tempo changes are the choice of the interpreter.
