SSATB choir & Org
SKU: ST.W230
Composed by Antonio Lotti. Edited by H Diack Johnstone. SSATB and Organ. Edited by H. Diack Johnstone. Octavo. Stainer & Bell Ltd. #W230. Published by Stainer & Bell Ltd. (ST.W230).ISBN 9790220223907.
Recently discovered in manuscript in the library of Westminster Abbey, and published for the first time, this five-part Crucifixus with obbligato organ accompaniment has a fascinating history, probably being part of a gift made by Lotti in 1731 to the influential Academy of Vocal (later Ancient) Music. Of only moderate difficulty, and lying comfortably within the scope of amateur church choirs, it offers an attractive and accessible alternative to the more ambitious a cappella settings in six, eight and ten parts for which the composer is widely admired.
