Description
The Estro poetico-armonico is regarded as the most monumental and complex collection of sacred vocal music, not merely within the context of Benedetto Marcello's output, but also among the entire Italian repertoire of the 18th century. It comprises eight volumes and features intonations of the first fifty Psalms of David, based on the Vulgate translation and paraphrased in Italian – Parafrasi sopra salmi – by the Venetian poet Girolamo Ascanio Giustiniani.
Volume 1:
- Salmo I (Beatus vir qui non abiit in consilio impiorum)
- Salmo II (Quare fremuerunt gentes)
- Salmo III (Domine quid moltiplicati sunt)
- Salmo IV (Cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus)
- Salmo V (Verba mea auribus percipe Domine)
- Salmo VI (Domine, ne in furore tuo arguas me)
- Salmo VII (Domine Deus meus in te speravi)
- Salmo VIII (Domine Dominus noster)
