American Baroque ensemble the Consortium Carissimi continues to promote its namesake, Giacomo Carissimi, with this fourth recording of his works. One of the most admired of 17th century Italian composers, Carissimi became famous across Europe at an early age, particularly for his church music. Commonly employing texts that modify or amplify passages from the scriptures rather than taking those texts verbatim, Carissimi used all his talent for vocal melodic lines and accompanying instrumentation to fashion a sequence of spellbinding masterpieces. Foremost among these is Usquequo peccatores which, through its size and length, blurs the very distinction between motet and oratorio.
