    Title page of the first edition of Fiori musicali


    Fiori musicali ("Musical Flowers") is a collection of liturgical organ music by
    Girolamo Frescobaldi, first published in 1635. It contains three organ masses and two
    secular capriccios. Generally acknowledged as one of Frescobaldi's best works, Fiori
    musicali influenced composers during at least two centuries. Johann Sebastian Bach
    was among its admirers, and parts of it were included in the celebrated Gradus ad
    parnassum, a highly influential 1725 treatise by Johann Joseph Fux which was in use
    even in the 19th century.

    History

    A 1630 painting of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, where Frescobaldi worked at the time of the
    publication of Fiori musicali
    Fiori musicali was first published in Venice in 1635, when Frescobaldi was working as
    organist of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, under the patronage of Pope Urban VIII and
    his nephew Cardinal Francesco Barberini. It may have been conceived as music for St
    Mark's Basilica or a similarly important church.[1] The collection was printed by
    Giacomo Vincenti (a celebrated publisher who had previously published reprints of
    Frescobaldi's capriccios), and dedicated to Cardinal Antonio Barberini, Francesco's
    younger brother. The full title of Frescobaldi's work is Fiori musicali di diverse
    compositioni, toccate, kyrie, canzoni, capricci, e recercari, in partitura. The fiori musicali bit
    was not uncommon in early 17th century, used by composers such as Felice Anerio,
    Antonio Brunelli, Ercole Porta, Orazio Tarditi, and others.
    Before Fiori musicali, Frescobaldi seldom published liturgical music. It only appeared
    once, in Secondo libro di toccate of 1627; all other keyboard collections by the master
    concentrated instead on various secular genres (canzonas, capriccios, toccatas, and
    variations). The organ mass was still in its infancy, and composers seldom published
    such music. Although 16th century composers did work on liturgical music, the
    forms they used were a far cry from 17th century works. Early 17th century examples
    from Italy include Adriano Banchieri's 1622 edition of L'organo suonarino (1 mass) and
    Bernardino Bottazzi's Choro et organo of 1614 (3 masses and miscellaneous versets). in
    France, Jean Titelouze published collections of liturgical music in 1624 and 1626 (but
    the characteristic French Organ Mass did not appear until much later). After
    Frescobaldi, however, several collections appeared: Giovanni Salvatore's Ricercari [...]
    e versi per rispondere nelle messe (1641), Antonio Croci's Frutti musicali (1642), and
    Giovanni Battista Fasolo's Annuale (1645)—all these contain three masses each,
    similar to Frescobaldi's.
    [edit]
    Structure
    The collection consists of three masses: Missa della Domenica (Sunday Mass), Missa
    degli Apostoli ("Mass of the Apostles", for double feasts), Missa della Madonna
    ("Mass of the Virgin", for feasts of the Virgin). Each mass includes a number of pieces
    to be played at key moments before and during the service, and several settings of
    the first section of the Mass ordinary, Kyrie. Frescobaldi offers canzonas (Canzon dopo
    l'epistola) for the Gradual section of the mass, and ricercars (Recercar dopo il Credo) for
    the Offertory. The overall structure of Fiori musicali is as follows:

    Mass section Missa della Missa degli Missa della Madonna
