COMMENTARY

On 31 January 1670 (1669 more veneto), Natale Monferrato received 100 ducats from the Procuratori de Supra for the dedication of a printed collection and a gift of three choirbooks with 4-voice music for the use of the Ducal Chapel. Two of these choirbooks contained one mass each and the other a Magnificat (Venice, Archivio di Stato, Procuratoria de Supra, Chiesa, reg. 146, fol. 156r: ‘tre grandi manuscritti di doi Messe, et un de Magnificat in musica à quattro voci per servitio della medesima Chiesa’). During his life, Monferrato published eight ‘a capella’ masses: six in his Missae ad usum cappellarum quattuor et quinque vocibus concinendae op. 13 (Venice: Giuseppe Sala, 1677. RISM A/I: M 3047), and two in his Messe et Magnificat a quattro voci op. 19 (Venice: Giuseppe Sala, 1681. RISM A/I: M 3051). Three published masses are transmitted in the two surviving choirbooks of the Ducal Chapel of St Mark’s. The four lost volumes may have contained the other five published masses. On 10 March 1678, the Procuratoria de Supra authorized payment to the copyist for a choirbook ‘in square notation’ with two 4-voice masses by Monferrato (Venice, Archivio di Stato, Procuratoria de Supra, Chiesa, reg. 147, fol. 53v: ‘nel scriver in notte quadrate due Messa a quattro composte dal medesimo [= Monferrato] de carte sessantadoi’). This payment is related to a surviving choirbook (Venice, Basilica di San Marco, Libri musicali 6). On the same occasion, the Procuratoria approved payment for another choirbook (now missing) with two further masses by Monferrato (fols 53v-54r: ‘nel scrivere due altre Messe in note quadrate composte da detto Maestro [= Monferrato] de carte quarantadoi’).
