    Durante's masterful a minor setting of the Litaniae Lauretanae is in three parts, and weaves a colourful picture around the words. The structure means that it is possible to perform both with choral and solo forces or with a mixture of the two.

  • Madrigale ą 9: Heu nos miseros
    Forces: SSATB, SATB & continuo
    Source: BL Add MS 14112
    Leo's moving 'Madrigale a nove' for nine part chorus is a wonderful example of the development of the 'older' style of polyphony in the first half of the 18th century.

  • Miserere mei deus
    Forces: SATB, SATB & continuo
    Described by Wagner as "...A mighty cathedral, sublime and magnificent..." Leo's Miserere is a complex and beautiful work which is hugely rewarding both to sing and to listen to.

  • Miserere mei Deus: quoniam in te confidit
    Forces: SATB & continuo
    Source: BL Egerton MS 2466
    The title page describes this work as being written for the Capella Reale di Napoli in 1744 (the year of Leo's death). It is not the Psalm 50 but the gradual and tract versicle for Ash Wednesday (in 1744). Divided into three sections: Miserere mei Deus, Misit de cęlo (the gradual for Ash Wednesday in 1744) and Adjuva nos, Deus salutaris noster (the tract versicle for Ash Wednesday in 1744) there is real beauty in its simplicity. See also the Misereris omnium, Domine which is the 1744 introit for Ash Wednesday.

  • Misereris omnium Dominum
    Forces: SATB & continuo
    Source: BL Add. MS 14112
    This is the first piece in a collection of music for Ash Wednesday and Holy Week, written for the Royal Chapel, Naples in 1744 (the year of Leo's death). In four sections, the work provides the introit, gradual and tract for Ash Wednesday in a sublime polyphonic setting - much beautiful harmonic movement. A stunning work.

  • Praebe Virgo benignas
    Forces: soprano, obligato organ & continuo
    An extraordinary work written for the unusual combination of soprano and obligato organ. Both parts are virtuosic, the vocal part being particularly challenging. In ARAR format it may have been meant to stand alone or as an introduction to another, larger, liturgical work.

Lotti, Antonio (1666 - 1740)

Liturgical (other)
  • Crucifixus ą 10
    Forces: SSSAATTTBB & continuo
    An intensely chromatic setting of the words from the creed, "Crucified under Pontius Pilate, died and was buried" in ten parts (plus continuo). Building from a single line to eleven within 6 bars and moving through varying polyphonic sections - a stunning work.

Porpora, Nicola Antonio (b Naples 1686; d. Naples 1768)

Liturgical (other)
  • Credidi propter
    Forces: SSAA coro, strings & continuo
    Source: BL MS Add. 14127 ff 29r - 38r (autograph)
    A setting of psalm 115(116) Credidi propter quod locutus sum ego divided into 3 sections: Psalm - Gloria - Sicut erat & amen.
    Written in 1745 for the Ospedaletto, it appears to have been reworked at a later date for SSAB coro, a format more characteristic of earlier works for the Pietą.
    This version follows the original SSAA coro version in all respects.

  • De profundis
    Forces: soprano & alto solo, SSAA coro, strings & continuo
    Source: BL MS Add. 14128 ff 83r - 105r
    A substantial setting of the De Profundis in 9 movements, 4 choral (SSAA), 4 solo and one duet, written in 1744 for the Ospedaletto. The soloists are entered in the score as: Bernadetta, Elisabetta Pia, Lauretta (soprani), with Angioletta Moro and Barbara (contralti). As is common in these liturgical settings, Porpora features favoured/most talented students first, the first soprano and alto arias being the most virtuosic.

  • Domine probasti me (Psalm 138/9)
    Forces: SSAA coro, strings & continuo
    Source: Autograph in BL Add MS 14216
    Writen in October of 1745 for the girls of the Ospedaletto this is a continuous setting, i.e. not divided into separate sections other than for the short, fiery Gloria Patri. Similar in style to the other Psalm settings (Credidi Propter, In Exitu Israel, Qui habitat in adjutorium etc.)
    Duration would be around 8 minutes and is perfect for a difficult programming spot!

  • Nunc dimittis (1744)
    Forces: 2 soprano solo, SSAA coro, strings & continuo
    Source: BL Add MS 14126 (autograph)
    The canticle sung as part of compline since the 4th century (Luke 2:29-31). In five parts, three choral with a soprano solo and a double soprano duet (quite tricky) Porpora's setting was written in 1744 for the girls of the Ospedaletto in Venice.

  • Qui Habitat (Psalm 90/91)
    Forces: 2 soprani solo, SSAA coro, strings & continuo
    Source: autograph in BL Add MS 14126
    Another single section psalm setting written for the girls of the Ospedaletto in Venice in February of 1744. Launching straight into a rapid word setting and using advanced, and in some moments unusual, harmonic changes. The solo sections are, as usual, virtuosic, the choral writing exciting, but not too difficult to sing.
