Gius eppe Torelli (1658–1709) was the reputed father of the instrumental concerto, yet he also composed sacred vocal music. Discovered in 2001, when the Berlin Sing-Akademie’s archive was returned from Kiev (where it had been hidden away since the Second World War), his three-movement Christmas motet Totus orbis, umbra canit (‘The whole world, the darkness sings’), scored for soprano, two violins and continuo, is a splendid example of its genre. Torelli probably wrote it at Ansbach during a brief interregnum around 1700 when his employer, the Basilica di San Petronio in Bologna, temporarily suspended its orchestra, leaving its members to seek their fortune elsewhere. Like its predecessors in the series (Edition HH, Dec. 2016 & Jan. 2017), this is a vibrant, technically challenging work full of exquisite touches that reaches the level of similar motets by Alessandro Scarlatti and looks forward to Vivaldi.

Herb Frombach's gentle text is meaningfully paired with the well-known hymn tune GORDON (My Jesus, I Love Thee) in this evocative anthem. Arranged in a light classical style, the part-writing is carefully written and the ranges are very manageable. The inclusion of the popular GLORIA melody adds a nice traditional touch to this moving piece.
