| OTHER SOURCES | Print edition: Natale Monferrato: Messe et Magnificat a quattro voci op. 19. Venice: Sala, 1681 – RISM A/I: M 3051 Manuscripts: I-Vnm, It. IV 1325 (=11135) (two copies) |
| CRITICAL EDITIONS | Monferrato: Masses (Drennan), pp. 185–212 |
| NOTES | Denominated ‘Missa Tertia’ on the front cover of the choirbook. It is the first of the two masses published in Monferrato’s Messe et Magnificat a Quattro voci op. 19 (Venice: Sala, 1681), where it bears the indication ‘Messa Prima’ (Index). Comparison between the choirbook and the printed version of 1681 reveals a few minor differences (not systematically indicated in Jonathan R. J. Drennan’s critical edition). The choirbook is not the source of the printed edition, but probably a copy stemming from a common antigraph, partly revised by the composer between 1677 and 1681 (Collarile, Suono dell'eterno). The ‘Missa Prima’ and ‘Missa Secunda’ of the choirbook series are not transmitted in the surviving sources. They may correspond to two of the five ‘a cappella’ masses transmitted in Monferrato’s printed mass collections of 1677 and 1681. |
