17th Century Italian Motets with Trombones

Early 17th c. Italian motets are the focus of this debut ATMA album by the ¡Sacabuche! Ensemble directed by Canadian trombonist Linda Pearse, recognized specialist in early 17th c. Italy repertoire. In addition to their inherent beauty, these works by lesser-known composers were chosen because they are representative of different musical types. This release represents the culmination of seventeen years of research, publication, performance and pedagogy by the accomplished Ms. Pearse, who, since 1997 has been collecting 17th c. Italian sacred motets with dedicated trombone parts.
