La Meravigliosa Musica del caro Sassone George Friedrich Handel

Handel è Immenso come l' Universo 🌌🌅😊👑🎼🎶🎶🎶🎹🎹🎻❤

Stupenda esecuzione!!!

Bravissima!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Sublime ❤️

Beautiful song, beautiful voice. Thanx for sharing your gift.. JW-RM6 WINNER SD 57362 USA

Soberbio !

You don't get better Handel singing than this... connected to the body (unlike a lot of baroque sopranos) with highly tasteful ornamentation

This is soharddd :(

Guacamole nigga penis

INCREDIBILE..............

les pas dans l allée de Camille st saens

Where is the rest of the score for the lower parts???

Beautiful!

Doing it this fall with my HS madrigal group. Great piece!

Superb performance. I don't really warm up to this piece when played with the harpsichord. I don't believe Monteverdi ever used one. The airy, subdued beauty of the lute is more in character.

Her pronunciation is astounding, to say the least.

congratulations

If you are going to show us the printed music why not show us ALL the parts, at least the vocal part with the keyboard reduction for the whole piece, and better a full score with modern voice clefs, that would be the best, like from an old Eulenberg or Phiharmonia score in the Public Domain. This is particularly bad for the closing aria of this Cantata as it is a three voice fugue.

simply moving!!!

I have listened to over a dozen recordings of Josquin's Ave Maria. None really conveys the childlike wonder I hope for in the tops parts. We sang the Laudibus in Sanctis for All Saints and botched the harmonies at several points. I am not satisfied with most of the recordings for Laudibus either but like the singing by Winchester Cathedral under the leadership of Martin Neary (ASV/Gaudeamus). One note, in American editions, the tenor part, "aleh-LU-i-a" (4:09), is diifferent from the British editions. Also "tempus in OM-nes" (4:44) is different in our American edition.

Peter Sellars needs to be smacked for this production. Great singing though.

MARAVILLOSO

@Scalla95, For an excellent discussion, see Joseph Kerman, "Willam Byrd and the Catholics," New York Review of Books, May 17, 1979 (downloadable for a small fee).

Shame because the tempo and feel is just right!

This seriously fucks up people with perfect pitch

Spine-tingling to think that Byrd is pouring his own experiences of Reformation England into this Psalm. "Your holy city has become a wilderness. Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem has been made desolate.". He must have been thinking of all his fellow Catholics who were slaughtered for their faith around him - in the very place that was once such a great Catholic nation - when he wrote this setting. :'-)

Heh, maybe Gesualdo snuck in and changed it while Billy Byrd wasn't looking :P

Beautiful music! Wonderful! Maravilloso!!!

Nice to hear this piece after reading an article on Bach wherein it was mentioned.

well that was a fun sight read

amazing ^_^!

Handel's melodic gifts were surely angelic

Read ..bottom to top! .. obviously the symbolism of destruction is very powerful here. It was almost certainly used by the faithful at the time to refer to the destruction of their own churches under the hands of Henry VIIIth. We often associate destruction with new life too... and in spiritual terms, new life, or second life, refers to 'the life with God', or the conjunction of the spirit and the body etc etc. I have made a great leap of logic there - I can only wonder if it's plausible.

There is a sense of servitude and supplication along with the mourning in this motet which is not at all apparent in the interpretation quoted. At the time the motet was written, the Catholic church in England was in ruins and practicing Catholics (like Byrd) had to keep their faith under wraps, so one can imagine some of the lament here being for the old religious order. Back to the point - and I am only pontificating - the reason for the interpretation is to do with the desolation of Zion.

the response you have quoted is a New Age interpretation. This motet expresses a very Catholic notion that God is really with His people through their suffering - the chosen expression is a lament of the desolation of Jerusalem. It is also about the longing for salvation and perhaps that is a little where this other interpretation comes in. Note the word 'current' - New Ageism is an alternative/ anti movement in many ways defining itself and it's beliefs as a counter belief system and culture.

Heavenly musik........ (STUNNED)

Listening to men sing like women makes my hair stand on end.

Actually, "musica ficta" means "fictitious music." The notes are fictitious because they're not part of the Guidonian gamut (like modern solfege syllables). Some of what we today call accidentals were included by the composer in the score, but some were left up to the singers because there was no way to notate them. Modern editors put those accidentals over the notes in question.

Fantastique!

But too bad that the producers have been tempted to revel in anti-american nonsense. Are those garments NASA-suits?

Theodora includes some of Handel's most hartfelt music. It was he's own favorite.

@ecp2014 I'm taking an introductory music history course, and for our term paper, I've chosen to write on William Byrd, can you recommend an academic source that covers his life in general? Also, noob question, major key right? I know modes were used kinda around this time, but this sounds pretty major. That said, there do seem to be a lot of accidentals here like you guys have been saying.

its time to wake up and listen to the second rising of Handel from the 1970 until now

ampoulé et sans structure. En un mot: nase !

The tempo is a little slow for me and the soloist's phrasing seems strange...but I love the string playing, it's superb.
