This six-volume series of
masses brings to light for the first time the work of the highly
accomplished yet little-known Northern Italian composer Ippolito Baccusi
(d. 1608 or 1609), maestro di cappella in Spilimbergo, Venice, Mantua,
and Verona; friend of Giaches de Wert; and teacher of Lodovico Zacconi,
who ranked him among the finest contrapuntists of the time. This edition
includes an updated biography of Baccusi that draws upon archival
documentation to present new details about his life and career.
The four masses of the Missarum cum quinque et sex vocibus liber primus (1570)—three
by Baccusi and one by his colleague Giovanni Battista Falcidio—are
based on polyphonic models by Nicolas Gombert, Cipriano de Rore, and
Orlando di Lasso and were composed during the turbulence of the War of
Cyprus (1570–73). The composers’ ingenious choice and treatment of their
models reflect a desperate desire for divine protection against
ferocious enemies—a relevant theme for any age.
