The Ode was
admirably set by Mr.
Henry Purcell, and
performed twice with
universal applause.
(The Gentlemen's
Journal, 1692)
The
popularity of Purcell's
setting is apparent from
the many sources that
survive and from the
printed extracts which
appeared almost
immediately after its
first performance. The
primary source for this
edition is the largely
autograph manuscript in
the Bodleian Library.
Rather to reduce the
orthography to a norm,
the capitalization of the
vocal text favours
Purcell's
preferences. (Christop
her Hogwood)

personality of Prague
musical life. My
father devoted a lot of
time and energy to
musical education and
activities of my sister
and me using often quite
original methods such as
teaching of intervals and
counterpoint through
Bartok's Microcosmos ear
training filling all
imaginable moments of
everyday life or lessons
of harmony analysis
starting with Overture to
Tristan and Musorgsky's
Catacombs. The Martinu
song Wondering Maiden was
his solo number in our
home vocal productions
which he used to sing
with amazing devotion
while his huge voice was
audible in several
neighboring
streets. My Agnus Dei
is closely bound to all
this history e.g. by
using canon and
preferring beauty of
dissonant seconds like
Bartok or quoting Martinu
and his refined
neoclassical harmony.
Father would be probably
a bit critical about the
minimalistic monotony of
the main body of the
piece. Nevertheless
firstly he would
improvise a short lecture
of history of Agnus Dei
in Requiem in Czech Music
naming by heart many
dates and all examples of
changes of order of the
traditional text by
composers. Examples would
be sung
probably. (Martin

Among
Campra's Latin works, the
,Messe de mort' is
perhaps one of the more
successful and today it
is one of the more
frequently performed. It
is also the most
enigmatic score of his
entire output. Despite
extensive researches, no
evidence of any sort has
yet been brought to light
to document its origin,
purpose, date of
composition, first
performance or reception.
A stylistic analysis
indubitably supports the
contention that the
,Messe de mort' is a late
work, composed perhaps
between 1722 and 1729.
The present edition
is based on the
manuscript from the

training filling all
imaginable moments of
everyday life or lessons
of harmony analysis
starting with Overture to
Tristan and Musorgsky's
Catacombs. The Martinu
song Wondering Maiden was
his solo number in our
home vocal productions
which he used to sing
with amazing devotion
while his huge voice was
audible in several
neighboring
streets. My Agnus Dei
is closely bound to all
this history e.g. by
using canon and
preferring beauty of
dissonant seconds like
Bartok or quoting Martinu
and his refined
neoclassical harmony.
Father would be probably
a bit critical about the
minimalistic monotony of
the main body of the
piece. Nevertheless
firstly he would
improvise a short lecture
of history of Agnus Dei
in Requiem in Czech Music
naming by heart many
dates and all examples of
changes of order of the
traditional text by
composers. Examples would
be sung
probably. (Martin
Smolka).
