Falsibordoni

Serafino Cantone's Falsibordoni is a setting for SATTB voices, designed for Anglican Vespers. The text is sacred, and while the language is unspecified, the genre points towards liturgical use within the Anglican tradition. Falsibordoni, or fauxbourdon, is a Renaissance technique that creates a distinctive harmonic texture, often moving in parallel motion. This work likely offers a rich, resonant sound ideal for the contemplative atmosphere of evening prayer. Its setting for a fuller choir suggests a powerful yet devotional expression, suitable for services seeking to enhance the sung prayer through sophisticated choral writing.
