Summary:

"The eighteen works of Geistliche Harmonien III belong to the category of small sacred concerto: brief works for small numbers of voices, obbligato instruments, and continuo, set to prose texts generally taken from the Bible (or imitative of the biblical style) or of a devotional, prayer-like nature. The texts project a variety of characters (theological, private, pictorial) and moods (supplicatory, sensual, joyful, militant, humble), and Capricornus matches these with a comparable variety of musical means and effects. Although solo passages can be found in nearly every piece, Capricornus displays his German love for counterpoint, and the myriad combinations of voices and instruments create ever fresh and interesting textures. Suggestive of the composer's German heritage is his inventive use of instruments, especially winds (recorder, cornetto, bassoon, trombone) as well as strings (violin, viola, and viola da gamba). The edition includes an extensive discussion of methods for realizing Capricornus's distinctively seventeenth-century figured bass lines." -- Provided by publisher.
