SATB choir

SKU: ST.EM42

Composed by Nicholas Yonge. Edited by David Greer. Library Volumes. Edited by David Greer. Paperback. Madrigals. Collection. Stainer & Bell Ltd. #EM42. Published by Stainer & Bell Ltd. (ST.EM42).

ISBN 9790220223136.

This is the first ever complete published edition of a major madrigal collection that is essential to our understanding of the fruitful interaction of Renaissance Italian and English music.

In four, five and six voices, the 57 pieces of Musica Transalpina include 51 madrigals by Marenzio, Palestrina and others, the two parts of Byrd's 'La virginella', and four French chansons. Uniquely, the anthology also features singing translations of the original poems from the Italian into the vernacular, for which it was widely admired and circulated. As a printed source from which composers could learn the madrigal style and aesthetic, it was hugely influential in inspiring the 'golden age' of Tudor and Jacobean vocal music.

An important addition to The English Madrigalists series, Musica Transalpina of 1588 is not only of great scholarly interest but is also an outstanding addition to the repertoire that will delight contemporary singers no less than it enthralled those Elizabethans who first responded with such enthusiasm to its fine music and accessible 'Englished' texts.

SKU: ST.EC52

Composed by Various. Edited by Theodor Dumitrescu. Library Volumes. Edited by Theodor Dumitrescu. First published in 2010. Pages: 184. Format: Hardback. Dimensions (mm): 324 x 246 x 19. Choral Score. Stainer & Bell Ltd. #EC52. Published by Stainer & Bell Ltd. (ST.EC52).

ISBN 9790220222016.

The publication of the fragments known as the 'York Masses' offers a prime opportunity for re-evaluating the wider context of English polyphonic Mass composition in the final decades of the fifteenth century. This source stands out as the only extended collection devoted entirely to music for the Mass Ordinary, and as such it provides a significant example of developments after the Brussels Masses. It can also suggest important correctives to the traditional historiographical idea of insular conservatism in Mass composition. The volume contains four Kyries, including Horwod's O rex clemens, two each of Gloria-Credo and Sanctus-Agnus pairs, the Missa Venit dilectus meus attributed to Johannes Cuk, and a Gloria-Credo a 3.
