This expansive collection, published in 1976 by Editio Musica Budapest as part of the scholarly Musicotheca Classica series, contains 29 exquisite motets based on the biblical texts of Solomon. Edited by Jancsovics Antal, this 120-page volume is an essential resource for professional chamber choirs, university ensembles, and liturgical music directors.

Interesting Facts

  • The "Spiritual Madrigal": While these are sacred motets, they are often described as madrigali spirituali because Palestrina used more vivid, emotional, and pictorial musical language than in his typical masses, reflecting the sensual imagery of the Song of Solomon.
  • Dedication to the Pope: Originally published in 1584, Palestrina dedicated this collection to Pope Gregory XIII, explicitly stating his desire to set these "divine loves" to music.
  • Musicotheca Classica Series: This EMB series is highly regarded by musicologists for providing clean, reliable performing editions that adhere strictly to historical sources while remaining practical for modern singers.
  • Complexity and Color: The use of five voices (rather than the standard four) allowed Palestrina to create richer textures and more varied vocal colors, perfectly suited for the intimate nature of these texts.

Áttekintés (Hungarian Translation)

Élje át a reneszánsz vokális művészet csúcspontját Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina Canticum Canticorum (Énekek éneke) sorozatával. Ez a monumentális gyűjtemény, amely 1976-ban jelent meg az Editio Musica Budapest Musicotheca Classica sorozatában, 29 ötszólamú motettát tartalmaz Salamon bibliai szövegeire. A Jancsovics Antal által közreadott 120 oldalas kötet alapmű a professzionális kamarakórusok és egyetemi együttesek számára. Palestrina tiszta harmóniavilága és ritmikai hajlékonysága itt a legkifejezőbb, hűen tükrözve a bibliai szövegek líraiságát.

Érdekességek

  • Szakrális Madrigál: Bár ezek egyházi motetták, Palestrina itt a megszokottnál érzelmesebb és képszerűbb zenei nyelvet használt, követve az Énekek éneke gazdag szimbolikáját.
  • Történelmi háttér: Az eredetileg 1584-ben megjelent sorozatot Palestrina XIII. Gergely pápának ajánlotta.
  • Ötszólamúság: A standard négyszólamú felrakás helyett használt ötödik szólam lehetővé tette a szerző számára, hogy gazdagabb hangzást és változatosabb vokális színeket hozzon létre.
