Omtale

First published in 1998. Volume 14 out of a collection of 25 of Seventeenth- Century Italian Sacred Music, focuses on the works of Vesper, and compline music for four principal voices. This series presents a large selection of Italian sacred music scored from printed part-books, works which have not been published in modem editions. Sacred music constitutes the largest gap in our present understanding of seventeenth-century Italian music. The volumes of Vesper and Compline music are arranged according to the number of principal voices, chronologically within each volume, beginning with works for one and two voices, progressing to works for three and four choirs.
