Pelikan Edition Kan Edition Bolomeo Di Selma - Die Tanze Canzoni Fasie Et Correnti (Venedig 1638)

Summary of This Score

This score by Bartolomeo Selma is designed for a vocal and continuo ensemble: one soprano voice, one bass voice, supported by basso continuo (Bc). This type of ensemble allows exploration of an expressive and contrasting repertoire, where the dialogue between the vocal lines and the harmonic foundation of the continuo is central. The full score facilitates overall reading during rehearsals, while the separate parts provide comfortable playing for each musician, especially when alternating detailed work and collective setup.

The Richard Erig edition is delivered in "full score and parts," an advantage for singers as well as instrumentalists responsible for the continuo realization. Whether for ongoing work, an early music workshop, or preparing a concert program, this configuration allows efficient organization: spotting entrances, coherence of breaths, balance between musical text and accompaniment. Note: the copy is reported as damaged (worn cover, possible label), which does not prevent musical use but may affect aesthetic appearance or library storage.
