Composed by Antonio Lotti. Arranged by Philip Brink. Baroque,Classical,Renaissance,Sacred. Score and parts. 11 pages. Gordon Cherry #4806575. Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.792349).

Crucifixus by Antonio Lotti is part of his Credo in F. This motet of 8 voices is a wonderful example of polyphony with many suspensions thrown in for good measure.  The music is sweet with a beautiful sadness, making it a work that touches most listeners in a very personal way.

Mr. Brink has transposed the work down a fifth into the key of F minor (resolving to F major at the conclusion), otherwise keeping the music true to its origins.  

This 4 minute work has a range of up to high B-flat for the 1st part.  The top four parts are in tenor clef.

The mp3 sound file is from a live performance of the Rundfunkchor conducted by Sir Simon Rattle from YouTube®.
