Product Description
At long last I have nearly finished the 7th book. This book
has posed some issues as it is such complex music it is almost
impossible to cut it down to 5 parts while maintaining its integrity. As
a result, some songs will be in 6 or more parts.
Ai lume delle stelle is a song of loss. By the light of the stars,
Tirsi bemoans the loss of his beloved whose eyes were like flickering
stars or torches flickering in the night.
This setting is for an expanded ensemble of 8 players as follows:
Part 1 in Bb - Trumpet/Cornet 1
Part 2 in Bb - Trumpet/Cornet 2
Part 3 in F/C/Bb/Eb - Horn/Euphonium/Trombone/Baritone
Part 4 in C/Eb/Bb - Euphonium/Baritone/Trombone/Tuba/Eb Bass
Part 5 in Bb - Trumpet/Cornet 3
Part 6 in Bb/F/Eb - Trumpet/Cornet/Horn
Part 7 in C/F/Bb - Trombone/Horn/Euphonium
Part 8 in C/Eb - Tuba/Eb Bass
The seventh book is quite a change from the earlier ones. Monteverdi
seems to be concentrating on developing solos and duets, trios and small
accompanied ensembles. The accompaniments are often written out with
more than just long note chords. The intricate instrumental parts are
more than just filling in the harmony (hence the difficulty in paring
them down.)
Once again, these songs are exquisitely crafted and travel well onto brass.
