8-part trombone ensemble
- moderately advanced
SKU: CY.CC2598
Composed by Antonio
Lotti. Arranged by Philip
Brink. Italian
Renaissance. Score and
parts. Published by
Cherry Classics
(CY.CC2598).
Crucifixus by
Antonio Lotti is part of
his Credo in F. This
motet of 8 voices is a
wonderful example of
polyphony with many
suspensions thrown in for
good measure. The music
is sweet with a beautiful
sadness, making it a work
that touches most
listeners in a very
personal
way.
Mr. Brink
has transposed the work
down a fifth into the key
of F minor (resolving to
F major at the
conclusion), otherwise
keeping the music true to
its origins.
This 4 minute
work has a range of up to
high B-flat for the 1st
part. The top four parts
are in tenor
clef.
The mp3
sound file is from a live
performance of the
Rundfunkchor conducted by
Sir Simon Rattle from
YouTube.
