Giovanni Battista Riccio
Opera Omnia
The Secondo libro delle divine lodi includes 28 compositions: 21 vocal (4 for solo voice, 12 for two voices, 2 for three voices, 3 for four voices) and 7 instrumental (5 canzonas for two instruments, plus one sonata and one canzona for four instruments) with basso continuo. 7 compositions have survived in incomplete form.
Giovanni Battista Riccio’s Secondo libro delle divine lodi was published in Venice by Ricciardo Amadino in 1614. The collection is dedicated to Antonio Grimani, bishop of Torcello and patriarch-elect of Aquileia, to whom Riccio would also dedicate the Terzo libro delle divine lodi (1620).
The only known copy of the Secondo libro delle divine lodi survives, preserved in the Biblioteca e Museo Internazionale della Musica in Bologna, has lost one of its five partbooks; as a consequence, seven compositions for three and four voices and basso continuo are missing one vocal or instrumental line, while all the twenty-one compositions for one and two voices and basso continuo are complete. A hypothetical reconstruction of the missing parts of the seven incomplete compositions is provided in the critical edition. An editable digital version of the incomplete pieces, together with transposed versions of the compositions for which transposition indications are given, is also available online.
