We are glad to announce the forthcoming publication of the complete edition of the I-VEaf 218, a manuscript collection of extraordinary Masses and motets from seven to ten voices, copied around 1534.
Preserved in the Biblioteca dell'Accademia Filarmonica di Verona, I-VEaf 218 contains 24 motets and two masses for seven to ten voices. Additionally, there is a set of double-choir psalms by a second copyist that will be published in a future complete edition of another Italian source.
Some of the motets and the seven-voice Mass show a connection with Giulio Medici, the Pope Clement VII: that is the case of the Missa tu es pastor ovium by Andreas de Silva (b. c. 1475-1480), Tempus faciendi by Jean Conseil (1489 or 1501-1534) or Vidit Dominus by the otherwise unknown Carlay.
The works are surprising in scale and uniqueness. Though some pieces from I-VEaf 218 were republished in a printed collection a few decades later (the Thesaurus musicus continens selectissimas octo, septem... in 1564), an important group of motets are unica, including the nine-voice Locutus est Dominus by Jean Lhéritier (c. 1480-1551), the rework for eight voices of Josquin's Ave Maria virgo serena, the outstanding nine-voice Caelorum decus attributed by some to Heinrich Isaac, and the final masterpiece of the collection, the ten-voice Regina caeli by Nicolas Gombert (c. 1495-c. 1560). Some motets are also contrafacta, such as Tu sola es virgo and Sustinuimus pacem by Gombert.
Salve regina Barbara is an exceptional seven-voice motet by Pierre Moulu (c. 1484-c. 1550) from I-VEaf 218. This motet was republished thirty years later in Thesaurus musicus, reworked as a contrafacta with a different time signature (available here) and attributed to Benedictus Appenzeller (c. 1480/88-c. 1558), but Moulu's authorship seems more likely.
