Signum Classics - SIGCD 905
Kompozytor
Giovanni Battista Bononcini (1679-1747)
Giovanni Battista Bononcini (1679-1747)
Bononcini:
Ave maris stella
Te Deum
Laudate pueri
When Saul was king
Ave maris stella
Te Deum
Laudate pueri
When Saul was king
This is the first recording not only of Ave Maris stella and Laudate pueri but also the orig- inal D-major version of Bononcini’s Te Deum. The work has been newly edited here from
its English eighteenth-century sources. These works were written during Bononcini’s time
in London, and a few months after his arrival the country was ravaged by a smallpox ep- idemic, which also saw the first introduction of inoculation against disease in England.
It’s fitting therefore that this recording was made in the early summer of 2021, six months after the COVID-19 vaccination programme began in the UK. Despite the challenges that this caused, director Owen Rees says “it was heart-lifting to be able to bring this project to fruition after many months during which singing was silenced”.
