Summary:

"Alessandro Scarlatti's sacred music, though a substantial part of his total output, has remained relatively unexplored, and little of it has been made available in modern editions. This edition presents for the first time the entire contents of the manuscript I-Baf FA 1 MS, a collection of music for Lent and Holy Week in the library of the Accademia Filarmonica in Bologna evidently compiled as an anthology of Scarlatti's sacred music. The manuscript consists of five sections: Eleven stile antico motets for Lent; an almost complete setting of the Lamentations for the Tenebrae services in Holy Week; responsories for the same services in stile concertato; hymns and the Improperia for the Veneration of the Cross on Good Friday; and two settings of the Miserere. The edition is divided into two volumes, presenting the Lamentation and Tenebrae responsories in Part 1 and the remaining music in Part 2. The edition is framed by a detailed exploration of the manuscript and its contents, including analyses of structure and tonal coherence within the larger works." -- Provided by publisher.
