Music Notes:


Domenico Zipoli (1688-1726) born in Prato Tuscany Italy,
studied in Florence (with cathedral music director) and Naples
(with Allesandro Scarlatti) and Bologna (with Lavinio Vannucci)
and Rome (with Bernardo Pasquini); became a Jesuit novice (1716);
went to Seville Spain to await passage to Argentina (1717, Buenos
Aires and Cordoba); continued his musical activities while
completing his philosophical and theological studies; died (January)
of tuberculosis before ordination. Old World works include oratorios
(only libretti survive), pieces for harpsichord and organ (published
1716); New World works include masses and motets, which have been
found in missions in Argentina, Bolivia, Peru.


"Pastorale" has two rustic shepherd's pipe tunes separated by a dance
tune carried on the wind from a village to the grazing field.


"All' Elevazione II" is the second of two gentle meditations intended for
use during the Eucharistic Prayer.


"All' Offertorio" is quite
exuberant and less easily imagined accompanying the liturgical action
of the 18c Tridentine Latin Mass.
