The great achievements generally ascribed to him are the further development of the recitative, later introduced by Monteverdi, and of infinite importance in the history of dramatic music; the further development of the chamber-cantata, by which Carissimi superseded the concertato madrigals which had themselves replaced the madrigals of the late Renaissance; and the development of the oratorio, of which he was the first significant composer.

Absolutely beautiful and dramatic lament. It is so emotional. The choice of tempo is perfect for that final chorus. The voices of Gabrieli Consort and Players are superb. Congratulations to the members of the ensemble and the conductor. I always come back to this version. Thank you.

I remember this one well. We worked hard on this and it ended up being absolutely gorgeous.
I still find myself singing tenor 1 from time to time.
