In Cantata mundi, the sound is more symphonic, with woodwind and brass added to the strings, percussion and recorder. The seven main Cantus movements incorporate ethnic percussion, and are interspersed with shorter chorales. This suite is an arrangement for upper voices and piano with additional recorder part and includes four Cantus and four chorale movements.Content : Cantus Song of Tears - Chorale Za ma ba - Cantus Song of the Spirit - Chorale Arama Ivi - Cantus Song of the Plains - Chorale Sol-Fa - Cantus Song of the Trinity - Choral A ma ka ma

Particular movements were very probably sung by a two-part choir, whilst the arias were kept for the soloists.In this edition, the outer movements and no. 8 are now scored for three-part choir (SMA) in contrast to the solo aria movements. Three further movements are set as trios for three solo voices.The added parts are derived from the existing musical material. These lend this well-known work a completely new charm and provide a welcome addition to the repertoire for choral concerts.- Arrangement for female choir (SMA) based on the Bärenreiter Urtext edition of the original work- Clear, straightforward piano reductionThe arrangerMalcolm Bruno is the editor of the Urtext edition of the ?Stabat mater? (BA 7679) and a renowned expert in 18th century Italian music.
