Arranged for The Primavera Project for four cellos by our co-founder and cellist Matt Haimovitz<\/a>, we are thrilled with the sheet music release of this beautiful Josquin work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kyrie<\/strong><\/em> is recorded by Matt Haimovitz on our second album, PRIMAVERA II the rabbits<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Josquin des Prez likely overlapped with Sandro Botticelli in the artistically flourishing Florence of the late 15th century.\u00a0In her commission for THE PRIMAVERA PROJECT<\/a>,\u00a0Missa Primavera<\/em>\u00a0for solo cello, Lisa Bielawa references Josquin\u2019s\u00a0Missa Hercules Dux Ferrariae<\/em>\u00a0in four vocal parts. As a companion piece or standing on its own, this arrangement of the\u00a0Kyrie<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0from the\u00a0Missa Hercules<\/em>\u00a0strips away the words, adapting the vocal parts to an ensemble of four celli. The cantus firmus<\/em>\u00a0anchors the composition; the purity of contour, ambiguity of meter, and symbolism embedded in the independent lines remind us that complex counterpoint was very much alive two centuries before the music of J.S. Bach.<\/p>\nMatt Haimovitz<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
