Unbound score copy of Gloria and Credo settings. This source comes from Italy.
Caption title (Gloria): Gloria, à 4 Con[certa]ta Con Sinf[oni]a e Breve [?] dell Sig. Chiesa.
The score is set out over eight staves. The upper stave is notated for two trumpets (one stave), two violins (two staves), four voices SATB (four staves), b.c.
Caption title [Credo]: Credo à 4. Breve [?] Con Sinf[oni]a e trombe dell Sig. Chiesa.
Note that each Dresden examples of the following composers have the same provenance: Canta (Giovanni Cantù): Kyrie e Gloria (Mus. 4975-D-1,2); Chiesa (Melchiorre?): Gloria from Gloria e Credo (Mus. 3284-E-1); Chiesa, Melchiorre: Caelo tonanti [Motetti] Nr. 2 (Mus. 3284-E-1); Monzino (Monza, Carlo Ignazio?): Kyrie e Gloria (Mus. 2768-D-1); Piazzino: [Messe] Nr. 2 Kyrie, Gloria, Credo (Mus. 2875-D-1; Mus. 2875-D-2).
The article ‘Chiesa, Melchiorre’ in GMO (author not named) reports that in Milan (1770) Charles Burney wrote: ‘Chiesa and Monza seem and are said to be the two best composers for the stage here at present’.
Might the three listings in the Catalogo (1765) of works attributed to ‘Chiesa’ represent compositions of the same composer? According to RISM listings each is by Melchiorre Chiesa
