Are you searching for a brief a cappella AGNUS DEI for Lent?
REHEARSAL VIDEOS for each individual voice and PDF score await you at #90719.
IRREPRESSIBLE SADNESS fills my soul when I recall many readers won’t click the link (90719):
…where you’ll find the PDF score.
…where you’ll find rehearsal videos for each individual voice.
But many will not click on that link.
I wish they would—but they won’t.
Some will notice that Giovanni Gabrieli has the Tenor and Bass (an “outer voice”) approach a perfect consonance in similar motion—breaking a cardinal rule of counterpoint. It’s difficult to understand why he made that choice; but I doubt it was done without consideration. 1
Listen to Alto and Quintus alone:
* * Mp3 • Counterpoint between two voices only
Captivating, no?
NOTES FROM THIS ARTICLE:
1 Those who write about such things point out that when more voices are added, one can be less strict about such rules.
