General Information

Title: Sacræ Cantiones Liber Secundus

Composer: Carlo Gesualdo

Description: Sacrae cantiones II – the ‘second book’, after Sacrae Cantiones I, 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.

Maarten Michielsen & Cappella Gabrieli commissioned three Dutch Composers - Theo Verbey, Henri Broeren and Joop Voorn - to reconstruct the missing sextus and “bassus" parts in 2005, and have performed most of the twenty motets in various concerts in the Netherlands and Germany from 2005 to 2013. These are the editions published here, with the permission of the three contemporary composers.
