| Ajoutée par magataganm, 30 Mai 2013 Cornelis Verdonck (1563 – 1625) was a Flemish composer of the late Renaissance. He was one of the last members of the Franco-Flemish school of polyphony, and was a notable composer of madrigals in a style that blended both Italian and native Netherlandish idioms. Verdonck was born in Turnhout. From his earliest years, he was in the household of Cornelis Pruenen, senator and treasurer of Antwerp; in addition he was a choirboy at Antwerp Cathedral until about the age of 9. In 1572 he went to Spain to be part of the choir of Philip II in Madrid, where he stayed until his voice broke in early 1580, at which time he returned to the Netherlands to study in Antwerp with Séverin Cornet, and possibly with Hubert Waelrant as well. His earliest works, published along with those of Cornet, date from this period. "Ave Maria" exists in hundreds if not thousands of versions and renditions throughout the years. It is, after all a very antique Latin text ("Hail, Mary") which has been in circulation for hundreds and hundreds of years. It has taken the form of anonymous Medieval chants, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, 20th century and likely 21st century composers have all set it for chorus, chorus and orchestra, a solo singer in a larger choral work, solo voice and piano or some other instrumental accompaniment. Although this Advent Motet was originally written for Chorus, I created this arrangement for Flute Quartet (Flutes (2) & Alto Flute). | |||
