Cuckoos in the nest
I am having trouble effecting works links on two pages: the feature that they have in common is a composer other than the main contributor to the work viz. Works page for Sacrae cantiones (Raffaella Alleotti) where item 18 is by Ercole Pasquini, and works page for Sacro Sanctae Dei laudes (Giovanni ...

Re: Nicholas Temperley
He was a taste-leader in so many areas - psalmody, British Romantic music, the Loder family - and was great editor for Musica Britannica with his long-time colleague Geoffrey Bush, who predeceased him some years ago.
The last polymath in English musicology.

Re: A tale of two lous
Thanks for your help. I have changed references in lists of contents of Promptuarium Musicum (4 vols) anf Florilegium Portense (2 vols) in the hope that the confusion can now fall on sleep.

A tale of two lous
Ludovico Balbi and Alvise Balbi composer pages contain warnings that the two should not be confused. This is partly because biographical details are similar (uncle and nephew, similar dates, working in the same district) but most particularly because their names are actually identical. Ludovico is t...

Re: Errors and anomalies after update
I'm no sure whether the update is necessarily the culprit, but I have noticed a glitch occurring when posting pieces (3) by Michael Praetorius. Michael Praetorius compositions page updates, and amendments can be made from that link (or from any other page within the system). Pieces have still not ap...

Re: Using Easter Wings - for Easter Service
George Herbert was one of the best of English devotional metaphysical poets. He was vicar of Bemerton (from which parish, incidentally, he had a view of the spire of Salisbury Cathedral: tourists come from as far as Russia to view all 123 metres of that). There can be no question as to the propriety...

Re: Music for organ and small choir?
I think I'll try these pieces with the chorus. I suspect that I am reading too much into a throw-away comment, but just in case: "Chorus" in this type of English choral music is a synonym for "Full". What do "can" and "des" refer to in your edition? I can gue...

Re: Music for organ and small choir?
The piece which springs immediately to mind is Benjamin Cooke's Magnificat & Nunc Dimittis in G, which was written to celebrate the introduction of a new organ at Westminster Abbey in 1780. My edition is on this site. Don't let the words Westminster Abbey put you off: the forces can be anything ...

Star star
Is the bowdlerized title of a Jagger-Richards "composition". Stellam quam viderunt magi (de Monte), http://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Stellam_quam_viderunt_magi_a_7_(Philippe_de_Monte) is described in the text and translations section as a variant of "Stella quem viderant magi" ...

Re: Aleotti sisters
IM'UO, the lack of evidence for the existence of Vittoria does not necessarily "prove" that she was one and the same as Raffaella. Each is known by a single publication, and these are quite different in character. Unless further evidence comes to light, my provisional solution is to mainta...

Aleotti sisters
I have three motets to post by Raphaella Aleotti. There is already a page in existence for her sister, or it may be her alter ego. The wikipedia biography is unclear as to how many people these alternative names represent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vittoria_Aleotti Is the better solution to rema...

Re: How to identify composer?
The piece is unidentifiable (to me). However my observation is that it must have been written for a professional choir. An amateur choir would run out of steam unprompted.The first page is - Allegro brillante; second page is - Poco meno mosso.

Re: Rant - Who sings Pie Jesu for Christmas ?
What were they thinking ?. The answer is in the television channel: ITV They are incapable of intelligent programming of classical music (hence the inclusion of an "artiste" who so capably disproves the proposition that "Britain's got talent"). I don't find the mis-categorisatio...

Re: Original choral music - buy once, copy forever!
You say here "buy once, copy forever".
On your website you say that the purchase price entitles one to reproduce a piece in perpetuity.
How did you manage to secure distribution rights beyond the grave?
