Latin

  • Out of the depths I cried to thee…in Latin
    Wendy Gillespie
    Psalms are an important part of both Jewish and Christian rituals, perfectly suited to musical settings of many kinds. This week on Harmonia, we'll look at Latin versions of a Psalm that begins "Out of the depths I have cried to thee.” Plus, music from a C17 French harpsichord manuscript… found on eBay of all places!
  • Detail from the title page of Species Plantarum, 1753, by Carl Linnaeus.
    Nomenclature
    MOYA ANDREWS
