Felice Anerio, D-MÜu SANT HS 2746, 60-64
Dum torqueretur beata Agatha in mamilla
dixit ad judicem: impie crudelis et dei tyranne
non es confusus amputare in femina
quod ipse in matre suxisti.
While the blessed Agatha was being tortured at her breast,
she said to the judge: impiously cruel and tyrant of God!
you are not ashamed to cut off from a woman
what you yourself sucked from your mother.

    Why the accompaniment? I'm sure such good singers won't drop in pitch or go sharp. That's what is seems like when you put a keyborad to play along.

    • @MusicaSecreta
      @MusicaSecreta 10 місяців тому

      Ah, the organ isn't there to provide pitch support to the singers. Nuns in the early modern period sang with organs more often than not. We like to use the instrument as a means of gently sustaining the harmonic fabric, allowing the singers to phrase naturally. The voices cross constantly in equal-voice polyphony, the Cantus sometimes at the bottom of the texture, the Bassus at the top. With the organ providing a background texture, the singers can prioritise musical phrasing, rather than harmonic function.

    This poor woman who spends her career writing about gender, disabilities, and the problem of whiteness in music, wants desperately for this music to be written by a woman despite the lack of any evidence. Most likely written by Josquin or another composer at the court during that time. Baby boomers ruined every institution built in the West, maybe she should stick to writing about the problems of whiteness in pop music instead of inserting her kum-by-ya politics into renaissance music.

    ¡Este hallazgo es fascinante! En el Renacimiento unas monjas anónimas, tal vez hijas de poderosas familias, compusieron música que lograba inquietar a las buenas conciencias. Además recordemos que la Iglesia Católica estaba a la defensiva en aquellos días turbulentos. Hay que apoderarse del disco de inmediato.
