Description:
Giacomo Carissimi, the first grand master of the oratorio and author of numerous concertante motets and Italian bel canto solo cantatas, also composed several masses. The Missa concertata in C for 2 tenors or sopranos and bass, 2 violins and basso continuo was printed in Cologne in 1666 and is considered a testimony to the Roman master's contemporary European fame. The work is written in a concertante style accompanied by basso continuo, the antithesis of a cappella writing, and is one of the few works of this kind accessible today. It can be performed entirely by soloists, but also in such a way that the voices alternate between solo and choral parts.
