Holzbauer/Banner.

Under the patronage of Duke Carl Theodor, the German court at Mannheimduring the eighteenth Century became synonymous with excellence in music. Theodor,himself a capable musician, put together an orchestra comprised of the finestinstrumentalists, composers and teachers to be found, forming the so-called Mannheimschool. The founders of the school were Johann Stamitz, Franz Xaver Richter and IgnazHolzbauer. The high quality of orchestral playing found within the Mannheimorchestra inspired the court's composers t.o experiment with new orchestral techniques,expand the use of dynamics and articulations, and develop the foundation upon whichthe Classical symphony was based.


Ignaz Holzbauer (1711-1783) was born in Vienna, later exchanging hiscompositions in return for musical instruction by members of the choir at St. Stephen'sCathedral. Following several trips to Italy, Holzbauer settled in Mannheim, wherehis reputation as both teacher and composer grew. Drawing upon the famed Mannheimorchestra for inspiration, he became known for his symphonies and instrumentalchamber music. Lesser known, although of equal quality, are Holzbauer's sacred choralworks, which include 21 masses, 37 motets and several oratorios.


This edition of Plaudant Aetheri is based upon a hand-copied set of parts fromthe eighteenth Century, located in the archive of the Stiftsbibliothek atChorherrenstift Klosterneuburg in Austria, M.A.982/4.


Holzbauer's Plaudant Aetheri is scored for 2 oboes, 2 trumpets in D, timpani, 2violins, viola, cello and bass. The text of the motet is translated: Let those who feast inheaven and celebrate the glorious triumph give praise on high, and let those in hell,suffering and wailing, admit to the heavens the great victory.
