Neither Spem in alium, the widely acclaimed 'songe of fortie
partes' by Thomas Tallis, nor Alessandro Striggio's forty-part Mass
is the largest-scale counterpoint work in Western music. The actual
winner is Gregorio Ballabene, a relatively unknown Roman maestro di
cappella, a contemporary of Giovanni Paisiello, Joseph Haydn and
Luigi Boccherini, who composed in forty-eight parts for twelve
choirs. Ballabene's Mass has remained completely unstudied until
today, even though the score survives in prominent collections.
This study offers, for the first time, a historical and analytical
perspective on this overlooked manifestation of a very individual
musical intelligence.
