Cori Spezzati deals with polychoral church music from its
beginnings in the first few decades of the sixteenth century to its
climax in the work of Giovanni Gabrieli and Heinrich Schutz. In
polychoral music the singers, sometimes with instrumentalists also,
were split into two (or more) groups that often engaged in lively
dialogue and joined in majestic tutti climaxes. The book draws on
contemporary descriptions of the idiom, especially from the
writings of Vicentino and Zarlino, but concentrates in the main on
musical analysis, showing how antiphonal chanting (such as that of
the psalms), dialogue and canon influenced the phenomenon.
Polychoral music has often been considered synonymous not only with
Venetian music, but with impressive pomp. Anthony Carver's study
shows that it was cultivated by many composers outside Venice - in
Rome, all over northern Italy, in Catholic and Protestant areas of
Germany, in Spain and the New World - and that it was as capable of
quiet devotion or mannerist expressionism as of outgoing pomp.
Perhaps most important, music by several major composers about
which there is still surprisingly little in the literature is
treated in depth: the Gabrielis, Lasso, Palestrina, Victoria, and
several German masters. The book is illustrated with many musical
examples. A companion volume offers an anthology of seventeen
complete pieces, most of which are analysed in the text of Volume
I.
