@Baroqueopera Could you help me locate modern editions of masses by Antonio Bertali? I have scores & parts to his Missa Consecrationis, Missa Sancti Spiritus, Missa Resurrectionis, Missa Redemptoris, & Missa Semiminima, but if you have more I'd be very grateful! Sincerely, Bryan
@TaylorRMarshall They seem to do that a lot in Europe. I haven’t ever seen that in America, even at the most liberal parish. Maybe they simply haven’t thought of it yet, or Europe is being besieged by an altogether different stripe of kitsch while we’re still stuck in the modernistic stage.
@Baroqueopera I came across a forum post you made in 2000 where you mentioned a treasure trove of masses by Bertali; do you have scores to that you can send me please? I sent an email to your ihug address. I love the seicento!
@Baroqueopera I tried emailing you from the address you listed on CPDL, but it didn't go through. Would you be able to send me separate parts for your edition of Quis es iste? Also, was this meant to be a duet between a tenor and an alto with instruments taking the other parts?ty
@TaylorRMarshall I’m with you on this, but weren’t collations allowed as far back as the Middle Ages? Perhaps that’s the only way they could get through forty straight days of fasting during lent.
