Vaillant, Jacques: Par maintes foys

for 3 voices or instruments.

Giovanni Giacorno Gastoldi is known today mostly for his five-part balletti of 1591 (published complete in LPM TM37 and TM45). But he also composed several double-choir works. Of the two pieces printed here, the Concerto de´ pastori actually comes from the end of the afore-mentioned balletti, while Cantiam lieti cantiam comes from Dialoghi Musicali de diversi eccellentissimi autori, an interesting collection of secular double-choir pieces printed in Venice by Gardano in 1590.
The original note values have been retained in this edition. Editorial accidentals are shown in the usual way, printed small above the stave, and applying to the one note only. The original accidentals are taken as applying to the whole bar.
In performing these pieces it is important to remember that they are essentially light in feeling. I mention this because many double-choir works of this time are rather serious and weighty affairs. For Gastoldi´s pieces light articulation and brisk tempi seem to be required. In the tuttis in the Concerto de´ Pastori, each choir is harmonically sufficient, so it is possible to have 4-foot instruments in one choir (e. g. recorders), and 8-foot instruments (e. g. viols, or cornetts and curtals or sackbuts) in the other. However in Cantiam lieti the second choir does not necessarily have a real bass in the tuttis (see bars 43-6), so if there is only one 8-foot instrument it should go in the first choir.
