Carissimi: Jephte (2/3) Le Parlement de Musique.
High resolution, stereo sound: www.youtube.com/watch Giacomo Carissimi Jephte Sacred Oratorio for 6 voices (SSSATB), organ and basso continuo Composed: c. 1650 In this recording: Jephte: Luca Dordolo, tenor Filia: Elisa Franzetti, soprano Stephan Van Dick, altus Mercedes Hernandez, soprano Emmanuelle Halimi, soprano Stephan Imboden, bass Le Parlement de Musique, conducted by Martin Gester Recorded in October 2000 Jephte is based on the biblical text from Judges, but the oratorio uses a considerably expanded text. Besides paraphrasing the biblical narrative the anonymous librettist has written entirely new texts for the dramatic moments. The original accompaniment was only specified as a figured bass continuo for organ. Some editions add two treble instruments in addition to a bass instrument in the full choruses, doubling the top two parts and the bass part. Also, some performance guidelines suggest adding or substituting harpsichord in solo sections.

At the final chorus (video part III), the repeat was performed differently, that is to say 12 measures were skipped at the second turn. I left alone, however, the variations of the text on recording compared to the score (i.e., at part XII, sung by Filia, during the passage where the text "et Israel victoriam" is sung, score repeats the words "et Israel" while the soprano repeats "victoriam" instead). - Video part I: I.
