A style in the Lamentations out-of Jeremiah getting Maundy Thursday Holy Month is associated with Frescobaldi regarding Bologna manuscript Q 43, a keen anthology probably built for the Rome in regards to the center of seventeenth century (the brand new papers could have been identified as Roman, once 1650)
Note: + = lost part; LU = Liber Usualis. This new motets is numbered with respect to the index of basso continuo part-bookpare the fresh new liturgical projects and you may offer offered in Roche 1986, where dates depend on the latest specialized papal identification regarding cultus. ____________________________________________________________
Regrettably, the new Altus part-guide of one’s Liber secundus, that also include pieces to have Cantus II, is actually destroyed 
in the just recognized set of part-guides into the collection, to ensure simply fourteen of your thirty-a few concertos is of the transcribed within totality (a 15th are recoverable from various other supply). Instead of this new series from Frescobaldi’s contemporaries in the St. Peter’s, the brand new Liber secundus cannot seem to have already been picked otherwise create towards one precise liturgical standards (see Table 17.1). In addition to messages for many certain liturgical period, this new options of collection promote motets to own feasts of your Lord, this new Virgin Mary, the latest Sacred Cardiovascular system, brand new Ascension, martyrs, and you can person saints, some with increased alleluias for Eastertide. Regarding the Vatican manuscript Chigi Q. VIII. 205-206 Frescobaldi copied about three excerpts from Virgilio Mazzocchi’s 1640 Sacri flores for 2-cuatro sounds and you may continuo: �Nel motetto Veni sponsa Christi del Mazzocchio Alleluia,� �Nel motetto Sacerdotes Dei del Mazzocchi,� and you can �Omnes sancti.�
An assessment of Liber secundus with the paradigm of small sacred concerto, Viadana’s Cento concerti ecclesiastici out-of 1602, demonstrates that Frescobaldi achieved his messages from a wider, less purely liturgical looks away from source; in many cases it is impossible to determine the precise appeal (or no) of those works.
Five of your motets try obtained having solamente voice (canto or tenor) and continuo, 7 for a few voices of several range, and you can six getting five voices (always CATB); speaking of far outnumbered from the fourteen setup for a few voices from different selections and you may continuo. (Regrettably, new motets having CC/bc are common partial as the C2 is written in the newest Altus partbook.) The new motets having unicamente voice generally let you know a somewhat quick attractive singing line implemented more than a more sluggish-moving bass and often in syncopation against it. For every unicamente form contains a brief area inside multiple meter. of motets contain multiple parts: O3/step 1, 3/1, 3/dos,O3/dos, the around three entire notes toward scale, and you may C3/2, about three halves, more or less encouraged of the some facet of the text message, e. g., �bless God and you can claim all the their wondrous functions�:
Frescobaldi’s means was a great dignified and you will expressive membership of their moving text as well as minimum partially refutes Liberati’s blanket condemnation away from Frescobaldi because the an excellent sacred vocal composer
Despite Liberati’s strictures, Girolamo do try to represent the fresh new regions of the text, because the witness the fresh suspensions with the �tristitia� (�sorrow�) or perhaps the melisma toward �qui consoletur� (�who’ll unit�) inside �Aspice Domine,� as well as the obtrusive Grams on �Sol� when you look at the �Ipsi contribution desponsata.�
Where in fact the motets is a singing trout, like many of the basses for the Frescobaldi’s important canzonas it�s described as a somewhat retrogressive treatment. The low voice is not a different line however, an embellishment-either extremely ornamented-of your own continuo trout (or the continuo was a reduced amount of a low singing range). Throughout the tripla parts one to exist and on these functions new a couple outlines is actually much the same.
The newest collection comprises works by Carissimi, �We. C.�, Carlo [Caprioli] del Violino, Carlo Rainaldi, G. F. Marcorelli, and you can �Meters.Yards.� (?Marco Marazzoli)-Roman maestri di cappella of one’s 1630s.
