Officium vespertinum Part I - Psalms I

Michna Officium vespertinum Part I - Psalms I

The Officium vespertinum from 1648 consists of twenty-two pieces.  Its first volume consists of pieces intended for Sunday vespers or, alternatively, Easter vespers - 5 psalms (according to Hebrew numbering, no. 110, 111, 112, 113 and 114) for solo voice and four-part choir accompanied by organ and, possibly, various historical instruments doubling the vocal parts. 

The collection is published following a discovery by its editors - Dr. Jiri Sehnal and Prof. Vratislav Belsky - who succeeded in acquiring the missing parts from foreign archives.  Prof. Belsky also revised the score.  The collection was published thanks to the financial support from the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.
