Johann Joseph Ignaz Brentner

Brk Coll. 3

Hymnodia divina, op. 3

Printer: Jiří Ondřej Laboun
Dedicatee: Karl Maximilian Steinbach von Kranichstein

The third printed opus of Joseph Brentner was published in Prague in 1718 (date in the colophon in the end of the Vox part) or 1719 (date on the title page, which has survived in a manuscript copy only). The collection dedicated to a member of local nobility contains twelve sacred arias for soprano (7), alto (1), tenor (3) and bass (1) with instrumental accompaniment calling for varying forces. The title of the collection was often wrongly associated with Brentner’s first collection of arias Brk Coll. 1.

Includes:

Cor aude ad arma, op. 3/1 Brk 46
Sine te, o Jesu, op. 3/2 Brk 72
Domine non sum dignus, op. 3/3 Brk 51
Ecce panis angelorum, op. 3/4 Brk 52
Veni Jesu, sponse chare, op. 3/5 Brk 78
Desidero te, op. 3/6 Brk 50
In te confido, op. 3/7 Brk 57
Gloria et honore, op. 3/8 Brk 54
Maria gustum sentio, op. 3/9 Brk 60
O beata, per quam data, op. 3/10 Brk 62
Oderit me totus mundus, op. 3/11 Brk 66
Parce mihi Domine, op. 3/12 Brk 67

Composition: Not after 1718
