This edition attempts to remedy at least the worst shortcomings in the presentation of the text, as they are hardly likely to have reflected the composer’s intentions. It also supplies three editorial voice parts to simulate the original texture. The use of the cantus firmus inevitably points to a somewhat more archaic style of composition than is found in most of Layolle’s surviving motets. Meanwhile, even though only two voice parts have survived in the source, they impose such constraints that, in terms of harmony, if not of other aspects, this realisation probably comes quite close to Layolle’s original. | | | | 192409 | Stabat mater (Francesco de Layolle) | Stabat mater | Francesco de Layolle | | 2023-09-16 09:09:39 |
