Kleine, aber exquisite Messen
Die Bedeutung der abendlichen Messe sollte von jeher durch die Musik gesteigert werden. Zahlreiche heute unbekannte Meister komponierten herrliche Vokalwerke, die ausserdem durch meisterhafte Instrumentalkompositionen ergänzt wurden. Für ihre neue CD mit diesen »Chamber Vespers« verpflichtete die Gonzaga-Band unter anderem die Mezzosopranistin Clare Wilkinson und konnte die kleinen, aber exquisiten Messen mit höchst möglicher Perfektion realisieren.
The Devine Vespers, a service of evening prayer in the Roman-Catholic Church, has provided both occasion and inspiration for some of the most sumptuous music evercomposed. But not many churches in the seventeenth century could afford the lavish instrumental and vocal resources needed to play the likes of Monteverdi’s grandiose Vespro della Beata Vergine. For many of the smaller and more provincial churches, an acceptable compromise at evening service was the playing of smaller-scale sacred chamber music. This led in the seventeenth century to a tremendous outpouring of sacred music for small groups of singers and instrumentalists, as performed by The Gonzaga Band on this disc. During Vespers, it became commonplace to alternate the obligatory psalms with a number of extra-liturgical instrumental pieces. This recording follows the same structure. The psalms, by Banchieri, Finetti, Petrobelli, and Monferrato, are complemented and framed by a variety of joyous instrumental works by Tarditi, Cima, Piccinini, Frescobaldi, Crotti, Sances, and Cazzati. The Gonzaga Band was formed by the cornettist Jamie Savan in 1997 to explore historical approaches to the performance of vocal and instrumental music of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Its line-up is project led: the very best vocalists and period instrumentalists are ‘hand-picked’ according to the specialist requirements of each programme. On this recording, The Gonzaga Band is joined by the mezzo-soprano Clare Wilkinson and cornettist Gawain Glenton.
