The single editions offer the most beautiful madrigals and sacred choral works in the customary editorial quality at a reasonable price."Tristis est anima mea" (My Soul Is Sorrowful) was drawn from the 27 "Responsories" for the Passion Week which were published in their entirety in Vol. 7 of the Complete Edition (DV 4777). The bold expressiveness and imaginative interpretation of the text are brought to bear with particular compellingness in this motet by the princely Renaissance composer. "Tristis est anima mea" was included in 1998 in the list of optional contest works of the Fifth German Choral Competition.
