Dear Sirs,
I'm glad to announce that the following publication of the Centro
Studi Opera Omnia Luigi Boccherini is now available:
Vol. ii/1: Florence, BNC, Panciatichi 27: Text and Context
edited by Gioia Filocamo, translated by Bonnie J. Blackburn, Turnhout,
Brepols, 2010.
XX+988 pp., 230 x 310 mm, Hardback, ISBN 978-2-503-51518-2
The volume comprises a complete edition of the large manuscript
Panciatichi 27, compiled at the beginning of the sixteenth century:
185 compositions (parts of masses, motets, Magnificat sections,
litanies, lamentations, dances, instrumental pieces, frottole, laude,
chansons, etc.). Nearly one-third of the compositions have Italian
texts. The introduction takes into account the complex relationships
with some 600 concordant sources, both poetic and musical, manuscript
and print. Some compositions are closely related to printed sources of
the early sixteenth century: several pieces were copied from
publications by Petrucci and the Canzoni nove of Antico (1510), which
helps in dating the manuscript. The work of a single scribe (apart
from two pieces), the manuscript was evidently compiled for practical
purposes, as is evident from the small format, the absence of
decorative elements, erasures and corrections, alternative readings,
duplications of parts of the texts, and the intriguing presence of
arabic numbers at the ends of many pieces, related to the number of
semibreves in the composition or its parts. It has been suggested that
Panciatichi 27 was copied in northern Italy (Mantua or Ferrara);
further evidence — in particular a repertorial connection with
Augsburg, Staats- und Stadtbibliothek, MS 2° 142a — points to Mantua.
The commentary on each composition includes a complete list of
concordances (many newly discovered) with bibliographical references
and an evaluation of the relationships with concordant sources.
