Sacrae cantiones II - Gesualdo, Carlo

♪

"''Sacrae cantiones II'' – the ‘second book’, after Sacrae cantiones I (Carlo Gesualdo), is a collection of motets for six voices (except the last one - for seven voices). Two of the part books are lost - the sextus and bassus parts - and have been reconstructed by various composers. Stravinky's ''Tres sacra cantiones'' (Boosey & Hawkes 1960) are completions of ''Da pacem'', ''Assumpta est'' & the 7-part ''Illumina nos''."
