Description:
The Library of Congress, Washington USA, contains an early edition of a collection of motets, Sacra Corona, by various composers, assembled by Bartolomeo Marcesso, and dedicated to Federico Scullazon. The scans of this book have been put on the internet. The book was printed in Venice, 1656, by Francesco Magni, a publisher much less famous than Scotto or Gardano. All the motets (often parts from the Song of Songs) are written by Italian composers, many of which were working in Venice.
All the motets are from the same period and all have the same format with rhythm changes underway, very common in the early Baroque around 1650. And in the original edition we see the first indications for tempo and dynamics appear.
