¡Monteverdi: Vespro Della Beata Vergine
¡Classical V.A.
Description
[Machine Translation] The Evening Prayer of the Virgin Mary" is the first religious music composed by Monteverdi. It was composed while he was music director at the court of Mantova, after the premiere of his famous opera "Orfeo," and published in 1610. It was dedicated to Pope Paulus V, but the motive for its composition is not known, and is still debated by scholars today. The work, which uses Gregorian chant and Renaissance polyphony, is a masterpiece of Monteverdi's seconda platica (free expression in accordance with the meaning of the words), and concludes with a magnificent Magnificat.
