Bernardino de Ribera (c. 1520-c.1580): Rex autem David (AATTB)

One of the most fascinating motets from the Spanish Renaissance. Bernardino de Ribera (master of Tomás Luis de Victoria and Sebastián de Vivanco) follows the tradition of mourning motets of David and his son Absalon, like Absalon fili mi by Josquin or Pierre de La Rue (and the anonymous Mass based on it, available here) or Lugebat David Absalon by Gombert. The placement of some sharps in the source suggest an unusual and surprising chromatic reading of the work in the word Absalon. An extraordinary masterpiece that, in the words of Bruno Turner, is "weeping in sharps and flats".
