About this arrangement

SKU: CA.2091000 Composed by Heinrich Schutz. Edited by Michael Heinemann. Cycles: Schutz: Kleine geistliche Konzerte II SWV 306-337. Complete editions / Selected works: Heinrich Schutz Complete Edition. Sacred concertos, Sacred vocal music. Full score (complete edition / selected edition). Carus Verlag #CV 20.910/00. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.2091000). ISBN M-007-18868-9. The Kleine geistliche Konzerte by Heinrich Schutz represent solo vocal music right at the height of its time, the result of his (second) journey to Italy and his encounter with Claudio Monteverdi's musico-dramatic works. Part I of the Kleine Geistliche Konzerte, published in 1636, can already by seen as a pattern book of compositions, and based on their structure Schutz was then able to set more extensive pieces. This applies even more impressively to the second book because of its often daring harmonies and more intensive declamation; the book was issued in 1639 and is now newly published in the Stuttgart Schutz Edition in the original keys and with the original order of pieces newly recreated according to the first printed edition.
