Barbarini Lupus edition

In the early 1560s Manfred Barbarini Lupus was commissioned by Prince-Abbot Diethelm Blarer (abbot 1530–1564) to compose four-part choral music for the Mass and for the Liturgy of the Hours on high days. These compositions have been preserved in two large-format manuscripts at the Abbey Library in St.Gallen: Cod. Sang. 542 contains the vocals for Mass, Cod. Sang. 543 the chants for the Liturgy of the Hours.

The compositions by Manfred Barbarini Lupus are based on Gregorian choral melodies. These were sung by the tenor, while the other three parts are new.

In 2017, for the first time, an edition of all the pieces in these two manuscripts was undertaken by Samuel Schick, MA, under the supervision of Prof. Stefan Morent at the University of Tübingen. This edition can be obtained as a PDF in two ways: either as two full files with all the pieces from Cod. Sang. 542 and 543 in the same sequence as in the manuscripts, or as separate files for each feast day, ordered in accordance with the ecclesiastical year.

All the PDF files have links to the digitised manuscripts on www.e-codices.unifr.ch and to the critical apparatus in the form of commentaries.
