4 Motets for Bass, 2 violins, and Continuo by Giovanni Battista Bassani.
4 Motets for Bass, 2 violins, and Continuo by Giovanni Battista Bassani.
I transcribed this set of four motets for solo bass voice and continuo as a project during my doctoral studies. They are fantastically difficult, but also quite witty and charming. I would love for the world to hear them again! I’m offering them here for free, and only ask that you let me know if and when you intend to perform them. Included are four PDF scores, four mp3 midi realizations, and a paper explaining the provenance, transcription process, and a musical analysis.
