Inquiry regarding a Renaissance choral work
Posted: 16 Nov 2010 05:26
Hello!
I am brand new to this forum, and I am hoping someone on this site will be able to help me. I am a passionate lover of Renaissance choral music, and I have stumbled across a gorgeous piece, but have been unable to identify the composer or the name of the piece.
A few weeks ago, I watched a beautiful film from the 1970s entitled Death in Venice (I'm sure you've heard of it!). There is a particular scene in the film that takes place in the Basilica of San Marco, and in the background, a gorgeous song is being performed by the choir. I am not sure if I'm correct, but it seems to be polyphony in the Italian style. I have been combing through music, but cannot find this particular piece anywhere. Strangely enough, it does not appear on the soundtrack for the film, nor in any of the credits.
I have provided a link within this email to a You Tube video, which contains the very scene, and song, I am looking for. The song occurs at exactly 8:35 into the video, and it's very prominent, so it cannot be missed. The clip is from my personal playlist, and I assure you it is most safe. If there is any way you can provide me with information concerning this gorgeous song, I would be most grateful. I have had a rather terrible time trying to locate it so far, and would love to add it to my music collection.
Here is the link for the mentioned clip:
