Gothic Voices Philippe Vitry Spina Labia Gaude 1361
Four-voice motet by Philippe de Vitry Philippe de Vitry (October 31, 1291 June 9, 1361) was a French composer, music theorist and poet. He was an accomplished, innovative, and influential composer, and may also have been the author of the Ars Nova treatise. Artist: Gothic Voices Text TRIPLUM Vos, quid admiramini. virgines, si virgini pre ceteris eligende dignati fuerimus nubere? dum nupsimus tamquam valde diligende: Ista pulcra spetie. humilis manerie ac opere virtuosa; turpis vestrum altera. ausu numis aspera. necnon virtutes exosa. Ista lux, vos nubila ista velox aquila. vos, colubres gradientes! Ista super ethera regnat, vos in misera valle languetis egentes. Ista virgo regia dulcis est amasia. mea sponsaque pia; rex ego sum, hec regina! Quid tanta referimus? - nos qui cuncta novimus dignam preelegimus et ut rosam hanc pre spina. Surgite vos igitur (quia tempus labitur et mors nos persequitur) - huic servite, hanc vocate! quod si neglixeritis. illam non videbitis gloriam quam cupitis. vos eya properate! MOTETUS "Gratissima virginis species. quam decorat carnis mundicies. usque centrum placasti intima mei cordis plaga dulcissima." "Intra stillans amoris spiritum nescientem pectoris exitum. gratissime, simili vulnere peperisti mundum me ledere." "O regina, tuum amplectere astringendo pectus cum ubere (........................)." "O rex regum, oculum oculo et os ori iunge pro osculo. ac inspira verbum in labia quo recepto fiat caro dia." TENOR Gaude gloriosa. Translation TRIPLUM You girls, why do you wonder that I have thought it fitting to wed a girl who is peerless beyond the rest? - since I have married one as lovable as can be. She is beautiful in looks. gracious in manner. and excellent in deed. Any other girl among you is worthless. far too rude in forwardness. contemptuous of excellence. She is light, you are clouds. she a swift eagle. you, creeping serpents. She reigns beyond the skies while you languish, deprived. in a wretched valley. This royal maiden is a sweet mistress. and my devoted bride. I am a king - she is my queen! Why do I tell all this? I who know everything have chosen a lady of worth. one who is as a rose surpassing thorns. Arise, then, all of you (as time slips past and death pursues us) - serve this lady, call upon her! If you neglect this. you will never see the glory for which you long - ah, come quickly now! MOTETUS "Most beloved beauty of a girl. graced by the radiance of your body. you have made the depths of my heart serene to their very centre, with the sweetest wound." "Raining down the spirit of love. spirit that knows no way out of my breast. you, most beloved, have made an implement to strike me with a wound like your own." "O queen, to be entwined in your embrace, your breast..." "O king of kings, let my eyes meet yours. let our lips meet in a kiss. and breathe into my mouth the word through which my body may become godlike." TENOR Rejoice, o glorious Virgin!
Nikolai Demidenko Johann Sebastian Bach Labia Andreas Werckmeister Vladimir Horowitz Tchaikovsky Yehudi Menuhin 1645 1706 1720 1722 1744 1978 2000
From the Palazzo Labia, Venice, 2000 The Well-Tempered Clavier Book II Nikolai Demidenko - piano Johann Sebastian Bach - Prelude & Fugue No. 1 in C major, BWV 870 Watch other Bach´s Preludes and Fugues of The Well-Tempered Clavier: (http•••) Subscribe to EuroArts: (http•••) The title of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier refers to the new system of tuning keyboard instruments that had been developed by, amongst others, the Halberstadt organist Andreas Werckmeister +••.••(...)), to make it possible to play in all 24 major and minor keys, something which hitherto had been impossible with "mean-tone" tuning. There were, however, several such "well-tempered" tuning in use at that time, and, contrary to earlier assumptions, there is simply no evidence that Bach wrote his two books of preludes and fugues for our modern "equal temperament", which is but one of several possible tunings. Whatever the case, for him the tempered tuning meant that he could use all major and minor keys to present a systematic, state-of-the-art compendium of the fugue form, which was then at the very peak of its development. Intended "both for the use and consumption of the eager-to-learn musical youth and as a special pastime for those already skilled in this discipline", Bach compiled the first part of his Well-Tempered Clavier in 1722; this was near the end of the period he spent in the service of Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Cöthen - an essentially happy time for Bach, but marred by the sudden death of his first wife in 1720. When the second part of The Well-Tempered Clavier was completed in 1744, comprising another 24 fugues together with introductory preludes, Bach had already been Thomaskantor in Leipzig for more than 20 years and the fugue was no longer in vogue. This documental review almost seems to have been an attempt on the great composer's part to halt the march of time. /// The Musical Times called Nikolai Demidenko Vladimir Horowitz's worthy successor, describing him as a pianist "whose power, intensity, technical finish, tonal palette and musical intelligence are probably unique among his generation". Demidenko studied at Moscow Conservatory, where he, too, won the Tchaikovsky Competition, in 1978. Today Demidenko lives in England and teaches at the Yehudi Menuhin School.
Motectus "contrafactus" Pulchrae sunt genae tuae, amica mea, soror mea sponsa, oculi tui sicut columbarum. O pulcherrima virgo, vulnerasti cor meum sponsa mea, in uno crine tuo, vulnerasti cor meum, columba mea. Ubera tua sicut botri Cypri et ut hinnuli duo gemelli Capreae, qui pascunt flores. Quam pulcra es, et speciosa virgo! Coronabere. Veni de Libano, amica mea, veni: veni de Libano, formosa mea. Tui dentes ut oves de lavacro et labia stillantia uguentum.
