- Motet: 1st Trombone

8-part trombone ensemble - moderately advanced

SKU: CY.CC2598

Composed by Antonio Lotti. Arranged by Philip Brink. Italian Renaissance. Score and parts. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2598).

Crucifixus by Antonio Lotti is part of his Credo in F. This motet of 8 voices is a wonderful example of polyphony with many suspensions thrown in for good measure. The music is sweet with a beautiful sadness, making it a work that touches most listeners in a very personal way.

Mr. Brink has transposed the work down a fifth into the key of F minor (resolving to F major at the conclusion), otherwise keeping the music true to its origins.

This 4 minute work has a range of up to high B-flat for the 1st part. The top four parts are in tenor clef.

The mp3 sound file is from a live performance of the Rundfunkchor conducted by Sir Simon Rattle from YouTube.

The opening movement of Bach's chorale cantata on Luther's In deepest need I cry to you BWV 38, which was composed for the 21st Sunday after Trinity Sunday, belongs to a group of cantatas whose opening choruses are not concertante but have been kept in the style of a motet; the instruments merely amplify the vocal parts. The archaic character of the movement is emphasized by the addition of a trombone quartet. An exciting recitative and an aria full of pungent harmonies is followed by an entirely unusual recitative in which the chorale melody forms the bass foundation for the vocal part. A second aria - which is no less unusual -is a trio which is only accompanied by the continuo; it leads into the concluding chorale which, pursuant to the 1st line of text Ob bei uns ist der Sunden viel, already begins with a brusque dissonance. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.3103800.
