Summary:	"The present edition is the final volume of three. Collectively, these editions form a critical anthology of requiem masses composed by musicians of St. Mark's, Venice over a long period extending from the late sixteenth century to the closing years of the nineteenth century. The featured musicians of this volume, Giovanni Agostino Perotti (1769-1855) and Nicolò Coccon (1826-1903), were maestros at the famous basilica, the former during 1811-55 and the latter from the early 1870s into the 1890s. Despite being relatively obscure today, these individuals heroically preserved and developed the musical tradition at St. Mark's in the wake of Venice's fall in 1797. The two requiems assembled here, for the first time in a modern critical edition, tell something of this transitional moment. Perotti's setting, which originates from the early century, holds strongly to the past and specifically the style of composition practiced at St. Mark's when it was a private ducal chapel during the baroque era. Coccon's requiem, by contrast, originates late in the century and looks to the future, exploiting the rising star of Christian worship, the Romantic organ. Aside from historical interest, this volume offers modern performers two high-quality requiems for choral groups of wide abilities. Although the music was originally conceived for ecclesiastical service, the varied textures for choral and solo performance provide musical interest, whether it be in an authentic sacred or secular environment." --
