Antonio Lotti died this day in 1740 at the age of 71. Lotti is most famous for his Crucifixus in 8 parts, although it is not generally known that this motet actually comes from a larger work: the Credo in F for choir and orchestra. This Credo is, in turn, a movement of a complete mass setting. Lotti also wrote a setting of the Crucifixus for 10 voices, which is from his Credo in D minor; one for 6 voices which is from his Credo in G minor for double choir; one for 4 voices from his Credo in B flat; and one for 5 voices. It is a little known fact that he also wrote in excess of 30 operas! youtu.be/WpPJWFONvaE
