And yet this compilation, [...] which comprises the Missa In illo tempore and the Vespers of the Blessed Virgin, as well as a number of other works, was not destined specifically for the musical activities at Mantua. The publication was, in fact, dedicated to the Pope, Monteverdi obviously being disillusioned by the manner in which he was treated by the Duke of Mantua, who, although perfectly aware of his composer's genius, showed an exasperating ungenerosity and aggravated the situation by paying his favourite singers and artists more than Monteverdi. • It is, therefore, not surprising that Monteverdi sought to introduce himself elsewhere. Moreover, it seems that he wished to obtain a place in the Roman Seminary for his eldest son. This collection, dedicated to Pope Paul V, represented a kind of visiting card in which he evinced the full range of his learning and his mastery in the field of religious music. We find, on the one hand, the Mass, written in the old style, or prima prattica, a direct inheritance from the Renaissance, and, on the other hand, the Vespers, a masterpiece in the new style, the concertante style of the early Baroque era. • In 1610 Monteverdi was in full possession of his powers, but, according to the deputy Maestro di cappella, Bassano Casola, the composition of the Mass cost him enormous effort : Monteverdi has had a Missa da cappella a 6 voci printed which cost him a great deal of application and fatigue because he desired to work out each note in every direction, reinforcing more and more the eight (sic) fugues in the motetto 'In illo tempore' of Gombert ; and he had it printed with the psalms of the Vespers of the Virgin ; with various kinds of inventions and harmonies, all of them on the cantus firmus, with the idea of coming to Rome this autumn to dedicate them to His Holiness the Pope. • This labour gave birth to a marvellous masterpiece, impressive from every point of view. In the 18th century Padre Martini, the celebrated theoretician of Bologna, considered this Mass as the most perfect example of the prima prattica. It is true that the subjects from Gombert's motet are treated according to every technique in the art of counterpoint : inversions, recte et retro, recte et retro of the inversion included. • [...] • It is all the more astounding that, in spite of the abstract and restringent aspect of the Missa In illo tempore , Monteverdi's rich and fervent personality constantly comes to the fore, and his genius, like Bach's or Mozart's, transcends the boundaries of the strictest of forms. Closer to our own time, one cannot avoid thinking of Alban Berg who, although expressing himself in a highly restricted serial language, also reveals an ardent, expressive and always recognizable personality. Monteverdi maintained that music does not strive only to underline the meaning of the text ; it must read farther ahead. Richly endowed with two centuries of musical culture, and taking care not to turn his back on the past, Monteverdi succeeded in laying the foundations for a new dramatic musical language. In this he may be compared with Stravinsky who, like him, lived to an advanced age, traversed virtually all the musical styles of the 20th century (neo-classical, atonal, serial, twelve-tone, jazz, etc.), not only had genius, but also the time to master all these different styles. Both of them built a bridge between different epochs, supremely mastering the art of the past while forming the language of the future. • ~Jan de Winne (translated by James O.
