Description: A 4 part mass probably composed in the 17th Century. The manuscript of this remarkable work, attributed to “El Maestro Alegre”, is contained in a part of the Música Colonial Archive devoted to authentic works by very well known composers such as Palestrina, Victoria and Morales. The intention seems to have been to attribute the work to Gregorio Allegri, since “alegre” has the same meaning in Spanish as “allegro” in Italian.

Paul Marchesano, however, an expert in music of this period, has expressed the view that it is probably not an original work of that composer. The style of this work and the lack of a setting of the Benedictus suggests a Spanish origin, since the Benedictus was commonly omitted from Spanish settings of the Mass in the late Baroque period. One possible attribution of the work may be to Juan Matias de Rivera since there are similarities to that composer's "Missa a cuatro voces" and the two works appear one after the other in the the Música Colonial Archive.


US musicologist Robert Stevenson at one time had access to the original manuscript of this work and others in the archive. He raised the question of its authenticity without venturing an answer. Stevenson also commented: “Agnuses are reversed. Melodic sequences abound everywhere in this Mass.” The agnuses seem to be still reversed, so Agnus II should probably be performed before Agnus I.

A more modern scan of the manuscript (where the Gloria is clearly legible) is available on application to the editor.
