The Songs of Solomon focuses on the works of the Jewish renaissance<br />
composer Salomone Rossi, highlighting his multifaceted artistry, as<br />
court composer to the Gonzaga family, and as a unique renewer of the<br />
devotional music of the synagogue. Although the work of Monteverdi,<br />
Rossi’s contemporary and colleague, may be incomparable, Rossi’s<br />
madrigals too display grace and refinement and represent a major milestone<br />
in the history of music. His first book of madrigals, for instance,<br />
contains the first printed tabulature for chitarrone (theorbo). Rossi<br />
also published revolutionising polyphonic settings of Hebrew prayers<br />
and psalms. The collection Hashirim asher li’Shlomo was printed in<br />
Venice in 1622–1623. Different than most Hebrew com posers, who<br />
were known for their simple elegance, Rossi sometimes used madrigal<br />
elements to underline emotions in his sacred compositions. Since the<br />
beginning, Rossi’s music has played an important part for the ensemble<br />

Profeti della Quinta bildades av bassångaren och cembalisten<br />
Elam Rotem i regionen Galileen i Israel. Ensemblen har för närvarande<br />
sitt säte i Schweiz, där medlemmarna studerar vid Schola<br />
Cantorum Basiliensis och specialiserar sig på italiensk musik från<br />
renässans och barock. I sitt program- och forskningsarbete<br />
lyfter Profeti della Quinta ofta fram sällan framförd repertoar,<br />
som Emilio del Cavalieris Lamentationes eller Rossis Hashirim<br />
asher li’Shlomo, som de också har spelat in. 2012 deltog de i<br />
doku mentären ”The Search for Salomone Rossi” som spelades<br />
in i Mantua. Ensemblen har framträtt bland annat vid Festival<br />
Oude Muziek Utrecht och utsågs sommaren 2011 till vinnare av<br />
York Young Artists’ Early Music Competition.<br />
profeti della Quinta was formed by bass singer and harpsichordist<br />
Elam Rotem in the region of Galilee in Israel. The ensemble currently<br />
has its seat in Switzerland, where the members are studing at the Schola<br />
Cantorum in Basel, specialising in Italian renaissance and baroque<br />
music. In their programming and research, Profeti della Quinta<br />
often focuses on rarely performed repertoire, like the Lamentations of<br />
Emilio del Cavalieri or the Hashirim asher li’Shlomo by Rossi, which<br />
they have also recorded. In 2012, they were part of a documentary<br />
filmed in Mantua, ”The Search for Salomone Rossi”. The ensemble<br />
has appeared at for instance the Utrecht Early Music Festival and<br />
was awarded first prize in the York Young Artists’ Early Music<br />
Competition in the summer of 2011.<br />
