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.
