    Gesualdo arr. Stravinsky

    On Sunday Morning, Kate Molleson played a piece of Gesualdo finished (completed? Mucked-about-with?) by Stravinsky. I was really only half- awake, but can anyone supply any more info about this? I don't think the piece was one of Gesualdo's madrigals....was it Da Pacem?

    Presumably from his Monumentum pro Gesualdo di Venosa as CD annum.
    Three madrigals recomposed for instruments.
    1: Asciugate i begli occhi
    2: Ma tu, cagion di quella
    3: Beltà poi che t'assenti

    Complementary to the Tres Sacrae Cantiones.

    PS!
    Now that I've reread your post, much more likely to be the first of the three Tres Sacrae Cantiones.
    1: Da pacem Domine
    2: Assumpta est Maria
    3: Illumina nos

        Yes, it was 'Da pacem Domine' according to the programme website - one of the three of Gesualdo's Sacrae Cantiones which were completed by IS in 1960. Apparently two of the original part-books were lost, hence the need for completion (albeit more of a re-composition in this case).

        I have a nice CD recorded in 1994 by Trinity College, Cambridge choir conducted by Richard Marlow; it comprises IS's mass and Gesualdo's Responses for holy week, as well as this set of three completions.

              The programme's music listing states the conductor as Philippe Herreweghe (as per #3 above), so I suspect the recording is:

              Stravinsky: Threni - Requiem Canticles. PHI: LPH020. Buy CD or download online. Christina Landshamer (soprano), Ewa Wolak (contralto), Maximilian Schmitt (tenor) Collegium Vocale Gent & Royal Flemish Philharmonic, Philippe Herreweghe


              Nicely sung, though somewhat slower than other versions I have heard.

                My mistake, confusing the choir and conductor names.
                I thought that there were other versions when I did the search on Presto.
                I have both!

                PS. Not quite so !
                The Herreweghe only has Da pacem Domine on it (despite there being under 50 minutes of music on the CD), so it quite rightly doesn't feature as a result of a search for all three!
