Heu Mihi, Domine
Motetto a V voci
Andrea Gabrieli (c. 1533 - 1585)
Woe is me, o Lord, for I have sinned exceedingly in my life.
What shall I do, wretch; wherever shall I flee, except to thee, my God?
Have mercy upon me when thou comest in the final day.
Responsory for the 5th lesson in the Matins of the Dead.
Andreae Gabrielis Sacrae Cantiones [...], Liber Primus , published Antonio Gardano, Venice 1565; acknowledgements to the Bavarian State
Library, whose website (http://bildsuche.digitale-sammlungen.de) contains a scan of the whole publication.
Barlines are editorial; ficta, ligature brackets, cautionary and courtesy accidentals are above the stave where applicable. Original mensuration
marks are presented rather than imposing modern time signatures. Editorial underlay is in italics where applicable; Latin spelling has been
modernised in places to aid legibility.
This is Gabrieli's first published collection of his compositions and shows his early style. 1565 is an interesting date as Gabrieli's star was just rising
in Venice - he had travelled to Munich in 1562, befriending Lassus, and then he became organist at S Marco in 1566. Quite possibly this collection,
deidcated to Prince Albert, Duke of Bavaria and probably at least partially composed while in Munich, helped Gabrieli to gain the post.
As suggested on the 1565 title page, instrumental support or substitution is optional but worth considering.
