Visperas de Difuntos Y Responso
| Period: | Classicism |
| Musical form: | Motet à 4 vocibus |
| Text/libretto: | Latin from the Officium Defunctorum ad vesperas |
These Vespers consist out of the following movements:
01. Salmo 1 Dilexi quoniam exaudi Dominus (Psalmus 114) a 4 vocibus.
02. Salmo 3 Levavi oculos meos in montes (Psalmus 120) a 4 vocibus.
03. Salmo 5 Confitebor tibi Domine (Psalmus 137) a 4 vocibus.
04. Magnificat, Magnificat a 4 vocibus.
Y
05. Responso, Libera me Domine de morte (Respond) a 4 vocibus.
Benito Juliá composed several music for the Office of the Dead among others three Missa de Requiem a 4 voices with continuo, stored in Biblioteca al monasterio de Montserrat de Cataluña AM 2, 31 and 1160. Some but not all Mases are here mentioned above.
Julia wrote further some Responsories del Officium Defunctorum consisting out of two Libera me, Domine a 4 voces and two Regem cui omnia a 4 voces, stored in Biblioteca al monasterio de Montserrat de Cataluña, AM 2 and AM 19,32.
Juliá composed Inventario, salmo y lecciones del Officium Defunctorum consisting out of Two Parce mihi Domine for three voices, Lectio I;
Two Taedet animam meam for three voices, Lectio II;
One Manus tuae fecerunt me for three voices, Lectio III;
Two Domine ne in furore tuo for three voices, Psalmus 6.
These compositions are all parts of the Lessons out of the Officium defunctorum Ad Matutinum published in the Liber Usualis (Edition 1936) pages 1782 up to 1787. All these mentioned pieces are stored in the Biblioteca al monasterio de Montserrat de Cataluña, AM 2883 and AM 19,32.. But Benito Juliá wrote too, a special Vespers of the Dead, named “Visperas de Difuntos”, see the Liber Usualis (edition 1936) pages 1772 up to 1777 and the closing Respond on page 1767-1768. There are not many polyphonic settings of the Vespers of the Dead. That’s why this setting is important and interesting. The Vesper prayers (ad Vesperas) not well-known, are recited in the afternoon just before the Nightfall, organized around five psalms, 114, 119 102, 129 and 137, six antiphonies followed by the Magnificat with Antiphon. Sometimes Psalm 145 (146) “Lauda anima mea” is sung, see Liber Usualis (ed. 1936 page 1776). All these prayers were aimed at encouraging hope before God.
Benito Juliá set only three Psalms of the five available in the Latin Vespers of the Dead.
All movements are set in the alternate style (stile alternatim) for four voices SATB (Tiple, Contralto, Tenor, Baxo) with a figured basso continuo. In the Catholic church, the practice was banned by Pope Pius X in his 1903 Motu proprio, Tra le Sollecitudini, Instruction on sacred music!
The odd verses of the used three psalms are set in SATB and the even verses are set in the prescribes Gregorian mode, the plainchant. The three psalms are set in a homophonic style, with some word painting depending and following the most suitable words. The psalms 114 and 137 ends - of course - with the last prayer in SATB-setting “Et lux perpetua luceat eis, luceat eis.” Psalm 120 ends in verse 9 with SATB-setting ‘Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine’ of course followed by the plainchant ‘Et lux perpetua luceat eis”. All three used psalms by Juliá are set in a different mode, respective: Dorian, Lydian, and Mixolydian. Of course they are all set in function of the Liturgy with a strong believe in God but worth to perform in alternate style.
The SATB verses together contain 190 measures.
In the interesting Magnificat the order of the plainchant and SATB verses is reversed.
The odd verses uses the plainchant and the even verse are set in homophonic style SATB.
So the Magnificat starts with the plainchant “Magnificat anima mea Dominum”. This Magnificat has some minor polyphonic phrases in measures 20-23 in verse four “et sanctum nomen eius”. Further Juliá uses lots of sharps and flats to express his feelings. This Magnificat ends - of course - with the last prayer in SATB-setting “Et lux perpetua luceat eis, luceat eis” with a closing chord in a vast A-major in Dorian mode. This Magnificat SATB-setting consists out of 80 measures.
At the end of this Vespers of the Dead the Respond “Libera me Domine de morte” can be sung. This is not normally practised. This Respond is added and is not published in the Liber Usualis in the part Officium Defunctorum Ad Vesperas. But in the score and title we noted Visperas de Difuntos Y Responso. Nevertheless we will comment this Respond here and not separate.
The ”Libera me Domine de morte” is in general a plainchant from the Exsequiarum Ordo more specific a Responsorium/Respond sung during the final blessing of the coffin on its catafalque. Indeed this Respond is on the other hand sung at the beginning of the Absolutio pro defunctis, so after the Missa pro Defunctis, see the Liber Usualis (ed. 1936 page 1824) and is sung in the Exsequiarum ordo - also before the Mass –. The whole Exsequarium ordo is published in the old Liber Usualis (ed 1936 pages 1763 – 1771). This Libera me Domine de Morte aeterna is a well-known Respond. The Libera me (there are more (4) plain-chant variations known) is an old Responsorium.
But following the text Juliá uses some variations on the later - in 1570 - confirmed Roman text version see page 1767/68 of the old Liber Usualis. In this motet Juliá continues the alternate style (stile alternatim) as which we mentioned in the setting of the Visperas de Difuntos. Juliá starts the “Libera me Domine” with SATB in homophonic style. That start is an introvert Aeolian d-minor chord . As from bar 15 Juliá starts the lively and imposing part of this motet with ‘Quando coeli movendi et terra, when the Heavens and earth are moved.” Juliá underlines the trembling of the earth with a lot of grouped eighth notes in each not rhythmically equal voices/parts. This movement ends in a small Aeolian d-minor chord. It’s uncertain where to continue with the plainchant, because following the text of this Respond the mentioned phrase “Quando coeli etc” will be repeated but only in plainchant. So you can continue in plainchant as from ‘Dum veneris up to “et terra”. There after Juliá sets “Dies illa, dies irae” again for SATB in a homophonic sober style again in Aeolian d- minor. The belonging “Requiem aeternam” sentence will be sung in plainchant. The last ‘Kyrie eleison’ is set by Juliá for SATB
This Visperas de Difuntos Y Responso is stored in the Biblioteca de Monasterio de Montserrat de Cataluña, España, AM 2 and published in Lira Sacro Hispana Siglo XVIII..
01. Salmo 1 Dilexi quoniam exaudi Dominus (Psalmus 114) a 4 vocibus.
02. Salmo 3 Levavi oculos meos in montes (Psalmus 120) a 4 vocibus.
03. Salmo 5 Confitebor tibi Domine (Psalmus 137) a 4 vocibus.
