Alma redemptoris mater

- G.P. da Palestrina / ed. Andrea Angelini
 
 

Highlights

  • Marian antiphon for Advent/Christmas
  • exquisite Renaissance motet
  • easy-moderate difficulty

Description

This motet is part of our "Treasury of Sacred Music" Series, a collection of choral gems about which Vatican Council II was speaking in Sacrosanctam concilium: "The treasury of sacred music is to be preserved and cultivated with great care."

The traditional Marian antiphon for Advent and Christmas is set by one of the finest Renaissance composers, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, often called "The Savior of Church Music." The voice ranges and level of difficulty are well within the scope of most SATB choirs. This motet is a testament to Palestrina's compositional skill and will make any choir sounds its best.

Our edition is compiled by Prof. Andrea Angelini, the Director of "Alessandro Grandi" Choir of Rimini Cathedral and the Artistic Director of the International Festival "Voci dall'America e Suoni dell'Organo" which takes place each spring in Rimini, Italy. He brings to his editions the precision of a scholar and the pragmatism of a church choir director.
