One of Handel’s more epic Italianate psalm-cantatas, Dixit Dominus (1707) was composed for the name day of the Spanish King Felipe V, and it has a strongly Venetian character in its dispersion of voices and instrumental effects. Highly chromatic and vocally acrobatic, the writing for high sopranos is in bravura style, especially in the wild opening to Dominus a dextris tuis, in which singers extol The Lord for the ubiquity of His wrath. The instrumental sinfonias enjoy an incisive articulation which is both spare–with original assignment of one player per part–and hearty, with a pungent, dramatic flair for Handel’s affects. Alternately meditative and active imagery resonates throughout the piece, a constant reminder of Handel’s power over eye-music, where the textural indications suggest where the music should move. Surround sound buffs will thrill at the way individual voices and textures seem to come out of nowhere to launch us into the musical stratosphere. The final section, Gloria Patri et Filio, opens as though strummed by a consort of lutes, a heavenly feast of sound which celebrates the worship of the Father, the Son, and the Holy spirit in their perpetual mystery.
The music of Antonio Caldara (c. 1670-1736) has remained relatively obscure in spite of the fact that he composed over 3,400 works, many of them for festive liturgical and state occasions. Composed for the court of Charles VI, the Missa dolorosa (1735) joins two styles — one of the concerto grosso, the other of the abbreviated church service. Here the text represents the Seven Dolors of the Virgin Mary, a feast added to the Roman calendar by Pope Benedict XIII in 1727. The pleading tone of the work calls for sighing motifs, chromatic lines, and wistful melismas, all in the expression of personal, votive piety and faith. The Domini Fili, with its bassoon and continuo accompaniment, makes a charming sound-byte. " Crucifixus, not published until 1840, is in four short sections in an antique style reminiscent of Gesualdo’s motets. The use of the diminished seventh chord to show pain is an old conceit. Expressive and urgent, both Caldara pieces testify to a major talent whom the CD format may rediscover.–Gary Lemco
