Remarks
Mus. 2366-E-1: Bound score copy in an Italian hand.
Caption title: Caselli pour Monsieur Pasqualino (left). Caselli (in pencil; right).
The scoring is set out for Corni 1,2 (alto clef, without key signature); Oboè 1,2; Violini 1,2; Viola; Alto (sometimes soprano notation is used, and there are alterations to the vocal line); b.c; Timbali.
Mus. 2366-E-1a: Unbound score copy. Parts are missing from Dresden.
Title page: No: 2. (upper left) | Mottetto. del S. Caselli (del S. Caselli added in pencil). This is probably a copy of -E-1.
Caselli’s motet Sit avernus seems to have been performed by the Italian alto castrato, Pasquale Bruscolini (known as Pasqualino) who, according to Fürstenau (II, 280), arrived in Dresden on 6 March 1753. This copy is in the same hand as the motet Si ab alto monte (D-Dl, Mus. 2-E-14), a source listed as an anonymous work under ‘MUSICA SENZA NOME DELL’AUTORE’ at the end of this catalogue of 1765. See III/28/1.
(Is the composer Caselli the same Caselli whose name appears in the Requiem by Galuppi? See D-Dl, Mus. 2973-D-23,1, a Venetian source).
