Description
This is the original 3 part setting of a short motet for Easter Week. A very early edition is kept in the Cherubini Conservatory Library in Florence, Italy and was transcribed by the historian Mario Fabbri, who died of cancer in 1983. He was a colleague of mine from the Music Conservatory and dedicated much time towards making public little known works [http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Fabbri_(musicologo)] . The meaning of the title is "Shadows covered the earth".
The motet can be performed by a choir or by 3 soloists.
