ISBN 9790007098773. Language: Latin.

In this Magnificat, taken from a collection containing four-choir music for Vespers published in Venice in 1612, Viadana took an approach which was unusual at that time: the Magnificat is divided into 11 short movements like a cantata. The movements are structured with contrast clearly in mind. Viadana exploits not only the varied possibilities of the large vocal and instrumental forces to the full, but also presents a wide range of styles - from duet to four-choir tutti, from falsobordone to expressive madrigalian style. The work displays Viadana's knowledge as well as his admiration of the church music of Monteverdi in many ways. Viadana's printed edition of the Vespers of 1612 made a great impression on Michael Praetorius. Both Viadana's handling of the instruments and his treatment of the tutti choirs had a considerable influence on the works of Praetorius and other German masters. Score available separately - see item CA.1037100.

Lodovico Grossi da Viadana (c.1560 - 1627) was an Italian composer, teacher, and Franciscan Friar. He is known for the important contribution he made to the development of Baroque music, being one of the first people touse figured bass as a means of notating a basso continuo line. From 1594 onwards he was choirmaster at various Italian cathedrals, when his O Sacrum Convivium was most probably written. It is an arrangement of theancient Christian prayer for TTBB Male Voice Chorus, and is a perfect anthem for any Eucharist service.
