The Missa Salisburgensis à 53 voci is perhaps the largest-scale piece of extant sacred Baroque music, an archetypical work of the Colossal Baroque. Though the author is anonymous, recent studies suggest that it is almost certainly the work of Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber. The Mass had been considered a composition of Orazio Benevoli, or, more likely, Andreas Hofer, Biber's close contemporary and associate, but the attribution to Biber is now universally accepted. The sole manuscript source narrowly escaped being used by a greengrocer to wrap vegetables for sale in the 19th century. The work is scored for very large forces and is polychoral in structure. == Scoring == The work is scored thus: *''Choro I'': SSAATTBB ''in concerto'' * & ''in cappella'' *, Organo *''Choro II'': 2 Violini, 4 Viole *''Choro III'': 4 Flauti, 2 Oboi, 2 Clarini * (the oboe parts may have been added later; both parts appear to have been simply copied from the Flauto I and Flauto II lines, and there are no oboe solos in the entire Mass) *''Choro IV'': 2 Cornetti, 3 Tromboni (each of the cornetto parts are almost certainly intended to be played on the Cornettino) *''Choro V'': SSAATTBB ''in concerto'' & ''in cappella'' *''Choro VI'': 2 Violini, 4 Viole *''Loco I'': 4 Trombettæ, Timpani *''Loco II'': 4 Trombettæ, Timpani *Organo e Basso continuo '' *Note'': ''in concerto'' refers to the vocal soloists and ''in cappella'' refers to vocal tuttis where extra singers join the soloists in the vocal lines. When the cappella choir is employed, the vocal lines are less complex than the solo parts for the voices ''in concerto''. All of the ''viole'' lines are in C clefs and it is unclear whether the composer required instruments from the violin family, i.e. "violas da braccio" or viols, i.e. violas da gamba on these lines. The four "Flauti" lines require two descant (soprano), treble (alto), and tenor recorders. The "Trombettæ" are natural trumpets in C. The two "Clarini" are soloistic trumpet parts, composed predominantly for the highest octave of the natural trumpet. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Missa Salisburgensis à 53 voci」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
