Marcello: Estro poetico-armonico. Parafrasi sopra Salmi (Venezia 1724-26) - Volume 7: Psalms 36-43

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.

• Salmo XXXVI (Noli aemulari in malignantibus);
• Salmo XXXVII (Domine, ne in furore tuo arguas me);
• Salmo XXXVIII (Dixi, Custodiam vias meas);
• Salmo XXXIX (Expectans expectavi Dominum);
• Salmo XL (Beatus qui intelligit super egenum);
• Salmo XLI (Quemadmodum desiderat Cervus);
• Salmo XLII (Judica me Deus);
• Salmo XLIII (Deus auribus nostris audivimus)
