Proposed pieces for July 14, 2021
Last week, after the low-earth-orbit satellites whisked John Wilson away, we looked for four part pieces, and enjoyed repeating the Victoria "O Magnum Mysterium" from last December. I have located a version with parts, and added it to the list of four part pieces below.
Based on people's replies, it looks like we should be concentrating on finding good three and four part pieces for the immediate future.
So I have added a few that aren't extravagantly polyphonic and don't have enormous amounts of rests to count, and have at least one part that's suitable for crumhorn.
Pointers to pieces we might play
Three part
- Willaert, Allons, allons gai, with barlines
- Willaert, Ricercar Prima, With barlines: score, parts
- Arcadelt, Nous voyons que les hommes
Four part
- Josquin, Mille regrets
- Victoria, O magnum mysterium: parts, score
- Fortuna desperata
- Innsbruck, ich muss dich lassen
Five part
- Giunto m'à Amor fra belle et crude braccia, With barlines: score, parts
- Josquin, Faulte d'argent
Six part
- Willaert, Faulte d'argent
- Josquin, Baise Moy
Seven part
- Quando nascesti Amor, parts (Note that we've already done this, I think with Liza, but I remember liking it.)
Eight part
- Laudate Pueri (I couldn't find a version with parts, so if it looks like we'll have 8 individual parts, it would be public-spirited of someone to partify it.)
- The piece by Zucchini that we started with Liza: Exultate Deo
Other options
If the pieces above don't work for whoever we have, there are the pieces we've played before, which are at http://serpentpublications.org/~lconrad/music/brs-loud/.
There's also all the serpentpublications.org pieces sorted by number of parts, and all the imslp.org Renaissance works sorted by various categories.
