Rota Tota pulchra es Motet for soprano, tenor and organ
로타 너는 참으로 아름답다 모테트 소프라노, 테너와 오르간
This motet for soprano, tenor and organ
without pedal ranks among the little, yet
particularly valuable pieces of Rota for singing
voice and organ. Originally, `Tota pulchra es`
(`You are completely beautiful`) is a song of
Mary from the 4th century which praises the
immaculacy of the Virgin Mary. In Rota`s
version, the Latin verses describe the beauty
of the beloved. At the end, the dialogue
between soprano and tenor blends into a
melancholy duet of tonal beauty.
작곡가 Rota, Nino (1911-1979)
