Remarks
Set of 11 printed part books for four Messe brevi.
RISM B 2755.
Each book has a cover label giving the voice/ instrument, followed by ‘Messe brevi a 8 Voci piene’. The Organo Primo has added: ‘del Bissoni | 4. Messe brevi. A 04; 385,15 (pencil). Title page (Organo Primo): MESSE BREVI | A OTTO VOCI PIENE | DEDICATE | AL GLORIOSISSIMO | SANT’ EUSEBIO | Vescovo Martire, e Protectore Principale dell’Antichissima | Chiesa di Vercelli | da gio: ambrogio bissoni | Canonico Minore beneficiato, e Maestro di Capella stessa Cattedrale | OPERA SECONDA | . . . | In Bologna, per Giuseppe Antonio Silvani. 1722. Con lic. de’Sup. e Privilegio.
Part books (8 vocal; 3 instrumental): Canto p[rim]o Coro; Alto p[rim]o Coro; Tenore p[rim]o Coro; Basso p[rim]o Coro; Canto 2do Coro; Alto 2do Coro; Tenore 2do Coro; Basso 2do Coro; Violone o Tiorba; Organo Primo; Organo 2do Coro.
These part books have the same appearance as sets of part books for works by Bassani (Mus. 2114-D-1, -E-1, and E-2).
It is probable that these short masses were for use by the Kapellknaben/Juvenes of the Catholic court church.
