48180 | Simon Biazeck | | 2017-12-25 | 2017-12-25 | On the matter of tempo and proportional interpretation of the triple and duple sections, performers should consider adopting early 17th c. Venetian practice: dotted semibreve = minim. This necessitates a fast triple time at Hodie - perhaps uncustomarily so for modern performers - but makes more sense of the Laetantur and Exsultant sections. It also allows a constant pulse to be maintained throughout and a smooth transition from triple to duple time; vital for singers who read from single parts. | | | | 4580 | Hodie Christus natus est (Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck) | Hodie Christus natus est | Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck | | 2023-09-16 10:31:01 |
