Antonio
Lotti was employed at St.
Mark’s Basilica in
Venice for almost his
entire life. In 1717,
however, he was lured for
two years to Dresden by
the Saxon court as a
composer of operas. A
score of his Kyrie in G
minor and his Gloria in G
major, combined under the
title Missa Sapientia,
was later found amongst
the personal belongings
of Dresden court composer
Jan Dismas
Zelenka.
Zelenka
was not the only one
person impressed by the
Mass: at least two other
illustrious composers had
copies made, namely
Johann Sebastian Bach and
George Frideric Handel.
Indeed, the Mass is a
magnificent piece,
following the concertante
style of the time, with a
brilliant yet warm string
sound (2 violins and 2
violas). Score available
separately - see item
