Edition notes: The microfilm reproduction of the “Gloria” of the manuscript of this work is poor and has not been transcribed for the time being. Note values have been halved. Some of the sections have uneven endings (e.g. the initial section of the Credo, where there is a fermata on the last note of the alto part, but not on the other parts). These uneven endings have been preserved (with the values halved).
General Information
Title: Missa quarti toni
Composer: Gregorio Allegri (attributed to Allegri, probably not authentic)
Number of voices: 4vv Voicing: SATB
Genre: Sacred, Mass
Languages: Ancient Greek, Latin
Instruments: a cappella
Published: Not known
Description: A 4 part mass probably composed in the 17th Century. The manuscript of this remarkable work, attributed to “Alegre”, is contained in a part of the Música Colonial Archive devoted to authentic works by very well known composers such as Palestrina, Victoria and Morales. The intention seems to have been to attribute the work to Gregorio Allegri, since “alegre” has the same meaning in Spanish as “allegro” in Italian. Paul Marchesano, however, an expert in music of this period, has expressed the view that it is probably not an original work of that composer. US musicologist Robert Stevenson at one time had access to the original manuscript of this work and others in the archive. He raised the question of its authenticity without venturing an answer. Stevenson also commented: “Agnuses are reversed. Melodic sequences abound everywhere in this Mass.” The agnuses seem to be still reversed, so Agnus II should probably be performed before Agnus I.
