English translation:
My soul doth magnify the Lord.
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior.
For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden: For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For he that is mighty hath magnified me: and holy is his Name.
And his mercy is on them that fear him: throughout all generations.
He hath shewed strength with his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat: and hath exalted the humble and meek.
He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich he hath sent empty away.
He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel
As he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed for ever.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen.
i love the rich sound from the bass sackbutt, im a bass trombonist myself
I am deeply touched
Heavenly.
I am not a catholic, but love this old Italian music, together with Palestrina and Lassus. Thanks for sharing.
New to me, much enjoyed
I cannot like this enough. PERFECTION. And so lovely to recognise some faces!
Glorious music.
Wonderful!
These superb live recordings have helped me make a transition through the death of my husband this year. I am exceedingly proud to know so many of the people on stage, with whom I have worked in many venues.
Good vibrations from deep Heaven in the sky!
Wonderful, Unique
This is such a good recording. I never get tired of listening to this.
Amazing voices and instrumentalists. Beautiful sound.
The cornetto playing in this is exquisitely delicious. I believe the primary player is channeling Bruce Dickey and Doron David Sherwin and numerous others. I have read the instrument is a supreme challenge to master and it appears here the recalcitrant horse has been tamed.
I own one and the key is time and patience: as it is for all of the brass instruments, you have to build both diaphgram and lip functionality and endurance to climb up in the range. No immediate rewards! If you are looking for something you can pick up some fingerings and play something with some satisfaction, a recorder is perfect both as a professional's and as an amateur's instrument. For the cornett, wait some months of long tones and, once diaphgram and lips will make you able to hit at least a Bb5 (there are fingercharts up to F6... Trying squeezing out such high notes is a good excercise thought!) you will be able to start having some satisfactions.
Also it has many potentialities both in dynamics, elasticity (lip bending, up- and downlipping etc.) and tone variety which should be mastered: once acquired the basics, it's quite intuitive. Fact is that, as I've said, acquiring the basics requires time. But it's all quite common with brass ("lip-reed") instruments.
Thank you Gabrielli ... thank you !!!!!
Gabrieli... meine Stütze, mein Stab, mein Tröster
Gabrieli = chill bumps!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful music 🎶!! It certainly feeds my spirit during these difficult days ! Much love to all the musicians involved with the Green Mountain Project ..I hope everyone is well . Hope to see performances once we get on the other side of Covid ! (
Everything about this performance is perfect.
Thank you so much!
Fabulous! Subtle and moving. Using the forces Gabrieli had at his disposal, you've cut through the usual bombast associated with his polychoral works and uncovered a deeper soul to this music. I can really appreciate the individual character of each line being brought out through articulation and dynamic nuance. Beautiful!
An overwhelmingly beautiful and masterful performance - thank you all...
MARAVILLOSO!!! GRACIAS
Quelle musique géniale!
GIOVANNI GABRIELI { VENEZIA, Veneto République de Venise 1557~1612 VENEZIA, Veneto République de Venise } « MAGNIFICAT A 14 VOCI {1615} ~ THE GREEN MOUNTAIN PROJECT ~. Que c’est beau, une merveille, voix vocales et instrumentale de l’ensemble grandiose qui vous emporte sur cette période du XVIe et du début du XVIIe siècle, énorme bravo. GIOVANNI GABRIELI, élève de son oncle ANDREA auquel il succéda en qualité de premier organiste à la basilique Saint-Marc, il eu comme collègue CLAUDIO MERULO, et comme successeur CLAUDIO MONTEVERDI. GIOVANNI GABRIELI est considéré comme le plus grand représentant de cette école vénitienne. Son séjour à la cour de Bavière a Munich de 1575 à 1579 marqua le début de sa renommé européenne de compositeur. En 1587, il publia un volume de Concerti de son oncle, et la même année, prépara, avec LUDOVICO BALBI et ORAZIO VECCHI, une édition du Graduel et de l’Antiphonaire. Dix ans plus tard, il fit imprimer ses propres œuvres. Parmi ses élèves figure HEINRICH SCHUTZ, le maître de la musique allemande au siècle suivant {1585~1672}. Deux des recueils de GIOVANNI GABRIELI, SYMPHONIAE SACRAE et CANZONI et SONATE PER SONNAR OGNI SORTE DI ISTRUMENTI, furent publiés à titre posthume en 1615. GIOVANNI GABRIELI meurt le 12 juillet 1612, dans la ville de VENEZIA. Il est enterré à l’église SANTO STEFANO, où figure encore aujourd’hui sa pierre tombale. Merci pour ce chef-d’œuvre, de GIOVANNI GABRIELI, grand compositeur du XVIe siècle, et du début du XVIIe siècle, qui est grandiose et éternel. Et cette video que j’ai énormément apprécié sublime merci.
Hallelujah!
"THE GRAND FESTIVE VESPERS IN VENICE" IS SO DELICIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL! Splendorous Cornett performance!
Hello my name is Josh Mark I bring you good news
I'll forever love the tear-the-roof-off bombast of the Biggs "Glory of Gabrieli" recordings, but this really is much more sophisticated and respectful of this rather strange composer.
Marvellous!
Caused chills! That's my indication if it worked or not; this worked amazingly.
The Green Mountain Project is undoubtedly the master of the music of Monteverdi. He would be proud of your interpretation of his works - just as I am in listening to them!
Love the Cd! Really needed it for my IPod.
magnifique!!
Overwhelmingly nice
Sublime as always!
Equilíbrio acústico, beleza nas vozes e instrumentos; música maravilhosa!
great performance!!!!
Nothing can me more perfect than this. Excellent performance. The sacred music of the Renaissance was ever hardly surpassed later (despite the articulation and grandeur of the later Baroque, Classical and Romantic orchestrations-the more the composers moved away in time, the more they detached themselves from the inspiring Ars Perfecta of the Renaissance….and the less perfect.
RomuloVG Garcimunoz Nonsense. Beethoven's or Bach's works are as good as anything from the Renaissance period.
+Rentaghost okish as good? WAY better
renaiscense is fine and all but bitch pls, it has NOTHING on romantic classical and baroque
+Jorge Daniel True, it was all but pitch. But the true genius is how to put them on the score, and the fact they had written music we can compare to that of Romantic composers by just working on "mere" written pitches is testament of this.
Anyway, quite sterile is try to determine whether Renaissance, Baroque or Romantic Music is the best one: in all the three cases we are talking about the absolute pinnacle of this Art.
TenorCantusFirmus for me the best erudit music is romantic, and right next is classical
baroque and before it are just to boring for me in general, even though some pieces are good (bach...)
Perhaps it´s just not for you. I find renaissance music fascinating and romantic music boring actually :D.
Thank you! Love this!
Sublime! Excellent and jubilant.
Gorgeously sounding cornett section! I would say when played the way it is in this video the cornett is the best-sounding of all the instruments, expecially in these glorious parts came from Gabrieli's hand (parts having, in my opinion, little to nothing to envy to those by Romantic composers).
+TenorCantusFirmus Thank you! I agree - it is a spectacular instrument! Played spectacularly in this performance. So happy you enjoyed our performance!
TenorCantusFirmus I don't see/hear cornets. I see/hear sacabuches I.e. Trombones
Camilo Rojas cornetts are these black tubes played by the two ladies on the left hand side. Cornett has nothing to do with the modern brassintrument. The old cornett is made from wood, has fingerholes alike a recorder and a tiny mouthhole like trumpet. My favorite intrument. I love it.
Otto, I think you are wrong. Although it is difficult to see, they are blowing a small double reed; the plate at the base is a plate to rest the lips, perhaps this makes you thing that it is a cornett. Also, cornetts, don't have fingering holes, which very clearly these have. I believe they are cornamusas or chromehorns, if so, these instruments have the double reed inside a cup, so the player doesn't have direct contact with reed, and the embouchure looks like one of a brass player.
Camilo Rojas Sorry, but I' not wrong. I own myself a cornett, although I'm not able to play it. It is one of the most difficuld instruments to play.
For further information look at YT under ZINK. This is the german name for it. Look under Lene Langebelle, an excellent player.
Best wishes from Switzerland.
Amazing music and sound love this. The Foureyed Poet.
que lindo.brasil.

Italian's Genius
C S God bless all of you for loving Gabrieli. I am from Texas and have no one to talk to about this
.
wonderfull
do you need music by Gussago?
best regards
💕
Hello my name is Josh Mark I bring you good news
Sumptuous performance; were theorbos regularly used at St Mark's? They are very rare on recordings of this repertoire...
+gabrieli1612 Thank you! It was such a pleasure to perform it! And yes, theorbos were regularly used.
Flawless performance, I'm impressed. No wonder you have garnered rave reviews. Certainly have done your homework. This music is so rich, almost like too much whipped cream!
P.S. Have you all considered recording DVDs on a commercial basis? This performance demonstrates a competence on par with McCreesh et al...
Yes! In fact, we released a CD of the live performance in 2012 that includes this track and it's available on disc or via digital download on our website at tenet.nyc/store/. We also released our live performance in 2011 of Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610, which is also available via digital download.
And thank you! I am a big fan of Paul McCreesh's recordings!
I can intellige from the description that he composed this 3 years after his passing?
This work was published after he died and 1615 refers to the publication date, not the date of composition.
***** I wonder what kind of sackbut that guy is using. The one that he uses the rod to slide.
+Nathaniel Williams It's a standard-issue bass sackbut. The kind you see on every street corner
Oh one of those. Gotcha
A very nice performance but I'd take issue with a couple of things. Firstly, only the lowest part of the high choir should feature a human voice and the highest part of the low choir should be sung. The cappella choir is the only "choro pleno" - full choir - and sung by countertenors, tenors, baritones and basses. The cornett playing was outstanding (I am a cornettist myself).
Et in unum Dominum Jesum Christum

and Latin is my favorite singing language. I compose piano music but don't sing. Bless you.
