- Summary:
- "Natale Monferrato (ca. 1609-85) was maestro di cappella at the ducal church of San Marco, Venice, during 1676-85. An obscure figure of early baroque history, Monferrato (who trained under Claudio Monteverdi, Giovanni Rovetta, and Francesco Cavalli, among others) was, in fact, responsible for restoring discipline and musical standards in a chapel that had long succumbed to secular decay. The type of mass composition most commonly sung at San Marco was the a cappella form, as distinct from the messa concertata. Musicologists have long relied on a small corpus of music-notably containing two works by Monteverdi-for appraising the a cappella style at the seventeenth-century chapel. Significantly, this edition of Monferrato's complete masses-a total of eight settings from the composer's opuses 13 and 19-provides a major boost to musical scholarship by presenting the most substantial testimony to the chapel's daily ritual during the baroque era." -- Provided by publisher.
