Motet Notes
Heinrich Schütz: "Cantate Domino," SWV 81 - Cantiones Sacrae
Cantate Domino from the Schütz Cantiones Sacrae is very different than
the rest of this collection. Whereas most of the works are of a chromatic,
madrigal sort of writing, this most Italianate of all of Schütz works
very much shows the influence of the wonderful popular style that Schütz
teacher Gabrieli mastered. This is one of the happiest, most appealing
of all of the Schütz motets.
