Files "cleaned" Sep/13

Claudio Monteverdi


Vespers (1610) - Vespro della Beata Vergine

You can freely and lawfully download a printable score for this Work from CPDL - the Choral Public Domain Library - though it may not be exactly the same as the one used to make the Midi Files below, and it probably won't be as good as a proper paid-for engraved and printed score.

There is an excellent performance of this Work by The Monteverdi Choir, The English Baroque Soloists and The London Oratory Juniors Choir, John Eliot Gardiner, Conducter, on YouTube starting here.

Here is a "clickable" Table of the available Midi Files for this Work.
These Files were made with the assistance of some "borrowed" from The Sylvis Woodshed, to which they'd been uploaded by Arnold and Marianne Vonnez-Donner, of Chemin du Noirmont 17, CH -1004, Lausanne - merci, mes amis - though I had to do quite a bit of work on them to get them into my own preferred form, as well as adding actual content missing from their versions.

Originally the Files were prepared with reference to the 1960 Denis Stevens Novello score. This does not include the Audi Coelum, which is, however, Part 9 in the revised (antiphon-separated) 1994 version, and Midi Files for it have now been added.
