On 26 February 1671 (1670 more veneto), the Procurators of St Mark’s approved a payment in favour of the maestro di cappella Francesco Cavalli for the binding of a choirbook containing a 4-voice mass by Cavalli (Venice, Archivio di Stato, Procuratoria de Supra, Chiesa, reg. 146, fol. 165v: ‘in far religar un libro d’una messa à quatro del medesimo’). This payment was probably related to one of the three missing choirbooks.
On 5 July 1671, the Procurators of St Mark’s approved a payment for the composition of a 5-voice mass by Cavalli (Venice, Archivio di Stato, Procuratoria de Supra, Chiesa, reg. 146, fol. 168r: ‘in carta da registrar una messa à cinque voci da lui composta’). The choirbook containing this mass was realized before spring 1675: cf. payment of 28 April 1675 ‘per saldo delle operazioni per l’addietro fatte nel scriver in notte quadrate la Messa a cinque’ (Venice, Archivio di Stato, Procuratoria de Supra, Chiesa, reg. 147, fol. 6v). On the same occasion, payment for a third choirbook containing another 4-voice mass by Cavalli was appoved (Ibid.: ‘per saldo delle operazioni per l’addietro fatte nel scriver in notte quadrate […] altra Messa a quattro’).
