Iacobus Gallus: Opus musicum I/2. De nativitate, circumcisione et epiphania Domini
From the very beginning, one of the most important and ambitious goals of the MAMS collection has been publication of the collected works of Iacobus Handl-Gallus in a modern transcription tailored to the needs of contemporary performers. The publication of his famous collection of motets, Opus musicum, consisting of four books containing a total of 374 motets, partially achieved this goal in 1990. The transcriptions and critical commentaries were prepared by Edo Škulj, and Gallus’s motets were published in thirteen volumes between 1985 and 1990. The edition is enriched by numerous facsimiles from Gallus’s original prints, published between 1586 and 1590 by the Prague printer Georg Nigrin (Jiří Černý).
The second volume (I/2) consists of motets for 4 to 12 voices, many of them for two or three choirs. The motets are intended for the Christmas season running from the feasts of the Nativity and the Circumcision up to the Feast of the Annunciation, or Epiphany.
The 2023 digitized post-edition is accompanied by a new preface and an introductory study by Dr Marc Desmet that summarizes and compiles all recent findings about the composer and his work. Gallus divided the first book of his Opus musicum (1586) into three sections, which have been retained in the MAMS edition.
