Description
Giovanni Priuli is a real discovery: every one of his instrumental pieces is really strong, but the specially good news is that they are all different.
This piece is full of expressive passages and wonderful dialogue between the top parts of each choir. It is not, however, particularly difficult technically, and so forms an ideal introduction to the new kind of double-choir music that emerged in the early 1600s.
Printed after Priuli’s Sacrorum concentuum Ioannis Prioli (Venice, 1618).
