Two alto voices & basso continuo

SKU: HH.HH543-FSP

Composed by Diogenio Bigaglia. Score and parts. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH543-FSP. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH543-FSP).

ISBN 9790708185581.

These previously unnoticed chamber duets for various pairs of voices and basso continuo are among the most original compositions from the pen of Diogenio Bigaglia (1678–1745), the Venetian monk who was also a skilled and imaginative composer. They are set to texts taken from the famously chromatic madrigals of Carlo Gesualdo published over a century earlier. The purpose of this choice was not to commemorate Gesualdo but to assemble a homogeneous group of short poems suitable for Bigaglia’s evident main aim, which was to produce a cycle of vocal duets imitating the structural layout and musical processes of the contemporary trio sonata.

Carlo Gesualdo, the ill-fated if brilliant composer of the 16th-17th centuries was all but lost to music history until his rediscovery in the 20th century. His writings, described as intensely expressive, were centuries ahead of their time, and were perhaps informed by the tragic events of his life. Of particular appeal are the many madrigals written between 1594 and 1613, and Freshner has chosen several examples in his arrangements for brass quintet. From the book of 1597, he adapts I. Luci serene e chiare, II. Ecco moriro dunque; Hai, gia mi discoloro, and III. Io tacero; Invav dunque, o crudele. The complex harmonies and spirituality are unlike anything else written 400 years ago. For advanced performers.
