Music Theatina, 3. Lucca, 2006. Oblong, 32.5 x
24.5 cm, xlvii, 48 pp, audio CD. Full-color facsimile of the
autograph score issued on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the
composer’s birth. A sacred motet in Latin for soprano, instruments
and continuo, with two arias, a recitative and a final Alleluia,
EXULTATE, JUBILATE was composed specifically for the feast day
of the Regular Theatine Clerics, and first performed on January 17,
1773. The work was
specifically written for the famous castrato Venanzio Rauzzini—Mozart's
"leading man" in the opera Lucio Silla being performed at that time in
Milan—and the
virtuosity of the
piece with florid coloratura style gives us a glimpse of Rauzzini’s
abilities. It
combines the aria and recitative style of opera seria with the 3-part
form
of the Italian
symphony. Introduction in It-Eng-Ger. Includes CD audio recording
featuring Mariella Devia and the Cappella Musicale Theatina under the
direction of Flavio Colusso. Handsome binding that replicates the
original.
