This edition of Arie a voce sola de diversi auttori (Venice: Alessandro Vincenti, 1656), a collection of secular monodies for voice and basso continuo, complements the edition of the exactly contemporaneous sacred collection Sacra Corona (Venice: Francesco Magni, 1656), already published by the same editor (B189). It contains short arie by various authors, some of whom had also contributed to Sacra Corona (Barbara Strozzi, Francesco Cavalli, Pietro Ziani, Orazio Tarditi, and Maurizio Cazzati) and some of whom did not (Giovanni Battista Chinelli, Francesco Lucio, Luigi Pozzi, and Giovanni Battista Agnelletti). As in Sacra Corona, distinct Venetian and non-Venetian groups of composers can be identified within Arie a voce sola, and the printers, compilers, and dedicatees of both anthologies occupied similar social and economic milieus. Furthermore, at least three of the “new” composers—Lucio, Pozzi, and Agnelletti—shared the patronage of families recently raised to Venetian nobility (e.g., the Widmann and the Savorgnan), who, like those composers, resided in Venice’s eastern Terraferma territories.
Arie a voce sola can be seen not only as a continuation of the early seventeenth-century vogue for strophic arie, which were published in quantity in booklets during the first two decades of the seventeenth century (exemplified especially in the works by Chinelli, Strozzi, and Tarditi), and as the forerunner of the trend toward shorter operatic arie, observable in Venetia opera a few decades later (exemplified in the pieces by Lucio and Ziani).
