OFFICIUM DEFUNCTORUM (2005)The magnum opus of the Renaissance vocal polyphony Year 1603 - the last great composer of musical Renaissance, Tomas Luis de Victoria, symbolically crowns his work with a grandiose and extensive composition, Officium defunctorum, a funeral mass for the deceased empress to whom he was close at hand as a priest in the last years of her life. The work can be symbolically perceived as a Requiem for the entire Renaissance polyphony, the old and pure music. |

RICHTE UNS, GOTT! (2007)Double-choirs of German Romanticism The programme tries to discover influences and inspirations from early music in early works of two great authors of German musical Romanticism. The central point of the programme is an eight-part Te Deum with basso continuo accompaniment, early work by Felix Mendelssohn (written when he was seventeen), apparently inspired by Handel, Bach and Mozart. Other Mendelssohn works are represented by Drei Psalmen, op. 78, three eight-part motets based on texts of biblical psalms. The programme is completed by a selection from two eight-part works by Johannes Brahms - Fest- und Gedenksprüchen, op. 109 and Drei Motetten, op.110. |

DOLOROSI MARTIR (2007)Musical inspiration in Renaissance Prague The project, compiled from works of high Renaissance, is based on a motive of Dolorosi martir, a renowned madrigal by Marenzio from 1580. Kryštof Harant composed his five-part mass above the theme from this madrigal and so did also Michael Praetorius with his six-part Magnificat. The programme is completed with several motets by Jacob Handl-Gallus, remarkable author of Prague’s musical life at the end of the 16th Century, and the three-choir motet Lamentabatur Jacob by Luca Marenzio. The project Dolorosi martir has two forms - the basic one is purely vocal, the extended one includes also a viola da gamba quintet. |

AVE MARIS STELLA (2005)Tomás Luis Victoria - Mass and motets The programme is concentrated on Marian music and is lithurgically predestined for the Advent time. Its sources are in the strong Marian cult in Italy in the 16th/17th century that has enabled composing many wonderful pieces of music to glorification of the Virgin Mary. Works of the High Renaissance polyphony are represented here together with concertant compositions by Early Baroque authors. The programme is based upon the double-choir mass Missa Salve by Tomas Luis de Victoria, which the author composed parodically upon his own motet Salve Regina from 1572. The mass is interesting with unequal voices setting (SSABt/SATB), Collegium 419 uses its space effects during the performance according to possibilities of the concert venue. |
