Régi mesterek vegyeskarai 23 (Hungarian)
A Régi mesterek vegyeskarai 23. kötete a reneszánsz vokális muzsika, különösen a velencei iskola világába enged betekintést. A sorozat ezen darabját Szekeres Ferenc gondozta, aki a hazai madrigáléneklés megkerülhetetlen alakja volt. A gyűjtemény legfontosabb darabja Andrea Gabrieli klasszikus madrigálja, a "La virginella è simile alla rosa". A kiadvány vegyeskari letétben (SATB/SMT) közli a műveket, az eredeti olasz és katalán szöveg mellett Raics István és dr. Iglóy Károly művészi fordításaival.
Érdekességek
- Velencei stílus: Andrea Gabrieli a Szent Márk-székesegyház orgonistájaként a korszak egyik legbefolyásosabb zeneszerzője volt.
