Hassler - Dixit Maria - The Cambridge Singers descargar videos gratis

Alistair Kewish

The original pitch is given as F major but a transposition up one whole tone is quite a good idea.Pieces of choral music were frequently prone to transpositions up to a fourth higher or lower because the pitch of certain organs was far higher than today's concert pitch of 440.Having said that, even this standard pitch is overreached and runs higher with certain ensembles and orchestras I need not mention.

what edition is this score?

wattever333

why do they chop off the last syllable of every phrase? ridiculous mannerism. but the singing is good, the color is nice. so i hate and i like.

I appreciate the obvious attention to syllabic stress in each word. I love that it is such a thoughtful performance. I also like the subtly in dynamics that gives relevance to the style and period of the Latin text.

Quite interesting. I sing this piece in a choir and we sing the "ecce" part much stronger and more affirmative
