They were published respectively in 1544 (the responsories: a first printed edition of it's kind; to the best of our knowledge) and 1549 (the Lamentations). Both books were reprinted in 1563; a rare occurrence for a collection of this type. Aretino; a maestro di cappella at both the cathedral and Santa Maria della Pieve in Arezzo; was acclaimed in his own day as a true symbol of the city's glory; along with his fellow-citizen; the famous writer Pietro Aretino. He also had repeated contacts with the Medici court; and indeed certain characteristic features of his style can be traced to the late-15th century Florentine tradition of regularly using polyphony during the Triduum. In particular we note his use of equal voices and; above all; the adoption of an austere and solemn declamatory style closely linked to the structure of the text. All of this; however; is not only conveyed with extreme refinement; but also includes some very striking encroachments into vocal ranges rarely found in contemporary Italian music. An example is the use of two or three bass voices together with a low bass; as happens; for example; in the Lamentations for Holy Saturday; which in this recording are presented complete; together with their respective responsories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Odhecaton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40625834524743,"sku":"43692033","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4408840-3332320.jpg?v=1739706454","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/aretino-col-sabbato-sancto-lamentationes-et-responsoria","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
