Un caso di rielaborazione nel XVI secolo : il Missarum cum quinque vocibus liber primus di Giulio Belli

The first edition of Giulio Belli’s Missarum cum quinque vocibus liber primus was published by Angelo Gardano in 1586, followed by a second edition in 1597, and a third in 1603. There are some differences between the first and the other editions, the most important being the replacement of the Missa «Estote fortes in bello» by the Missa «Vestiva i colli», which is included in both the second and third editions. The other four masses have also undergone a significant revision: some notes have been changed, rhythmic and melodic variants have been added, parts of the text-underlay have been modified, and some sections of music have been completely removed or replaced. By presenting the results of a thorough comparison of the two versions, this article aims to show how the book was reworked and to understand the reason for such reworking. Both musical and textual evidence will show that the whole process was probably carried out by the composer himself, and not by the printer or a reviser working for him. As a truly rare case in the sixteenth-century repertoire, the understanding of Belli’s reworking is of great interest for the development of studies on filologia d’autore in the Renaissance.
