Abstract

This edition presents seven previously unpublished motets for solo voice and ensemble composed by Marianna Martines (1744–1812) during the 1760s. The first six of these works set unique texts in Latin and Italian, likely by Martines herself or the poet Pietro Metastasio (1698–1782). These motets survive as autograph manuscript scores, preserved in a bound volume in the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde, Vienna. The seventh motet, a setting of the “Salve regina,” survives in a set of partbooks in the city archive of Bratislava. These works feature brilliant, virtuosic vocal writing and demonstrate Martines’s mastery of the Neapolitan style and her personal sense of religious devotion.
