Claudio Monteverdi, a towering figure in the history of music, embodies the transition between old traditions and new practices. He is regarded as the last great Renaissance madrigalist, a pioneer of Baroque opera and a versatile church musician who was influenced by both the stile antico and the stile nuovo. The modern expressive style of his Marian Vespers is particularly impressive. His other sacred compositions in the traditional prima prattica style, which include motets, psalms, litanies and masses, distinguish themselves by their simple beauty and sublime grandeur, but are often overlooked.
Monteverdi’s Messa à quattro voci da cappella, from the collection published by Alessandro Vincenti in 1650, is one such unjustly neglected gem of his sacred music. Our edition has been modernized on the basis of the original source and carefully adapted to today's choral practice to enable ease of performance. As a result the Messa à quattro voci da cappella can now be heard and experienced in all its profound spirituality and musical sophistication.
