Marcello: Estro poetico-armonico. Parafrasi sopra Salmi (Venezia 1724-26) - Volume 5: Psalms 26-30

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 5:

• Salmo XXVI (Dominus illuminatio mea);
• Salmo XXVII (Ad te Domine clamabo, Deus meus ne sileas a me);
• Salmo XXVIII (Afferte Domino filij Dei);
• Salmo XXIX (Exaltabo te Domine);
• Salmo XXX (In te Domine speravi)
