The DWR Friday Choral Interlude – Palestrina – Sicut cervus
January 21, 2022 in Music | Tags: The DWR Friday Choral Interlude - Palestrina - Sicut cervus | by The Arbourist | Comments closed
Sicut cervus is a motet for four voices by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. It sets the beginning of Psalm 42, Psalmus XLI in the Latin version of the Psalterium Romanum rather than the Vulgate Bible. The incipit is “Sicut cervus desiderat ad fontes” (As the deer desires the fountains) followed by a second part (secunda pars) “Sitivit anima mea” (My soul thirsts). It was published in 1604 in Motecta festorum, Liber 2, and has become one of Palestrina’s most popular motets, regarded as a model of Renaissance polyphony, expressing spiritual yearning.

The DWR Friday Baroque Christmas Interlude – Mass in G minor BWV 235
December 24, 2021 in Music | Tags: The DWR Friday Baroque Christmas Interlude - Mass in G minor BWV 235 | by The Arbourist | Comments closed
The Mass in G minor, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, derives its opening from cantata 102, while the other two choruses and three arias are taken from cantatas 187 and 72. Bach probably wrote this and three other ‘Lutheran’ masses to create a safe haven for some of his favourite pieces. The neutral character of a Latin Mass means it can be used on far more occasions than the one specific moment in the ecclesiastical year assigned to the cantatas written in German.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on October 11th 2014 at the Grote Kerk, Naarden.
