Giovanni Paolo Colonna: O Splendida Dies

The pieces recorded here come from the 1681 set of 'Motetti' a due e tre voci (1681). They display a wide variety of formulas, combining traditional elements and innovative aspects that were to be further developed in the following generations. These gems are highly representative of the style of small motets that heralds the 'Stile Concertante'. They are characterised by various combinations of voices (from solo recitative to a mixture of vocal duets or trios in different scorings) and a broad range of formal structures bound up with the very nature of the texts.
