The fourth volume of the ECHOM series invites you to explore the fascinating world of L’Antegnata (1608), one of the great treasures of early Italian organ music. For the first time, this edition brings together both surviving sources of the work — the original print and the Turin manuscript — offering a unique window into the artistry and craftsmanship of Costanzo Antegnati.
Rich in historical and musical insight, this publication reveals two sides of the composer’s genius: the practical brilliance of the 1608 print, written for the hands, and the intellectual depth of the Turin manuscript, conceived for the mind. Together, they form a dialogue between performance and reflection, sound and structure.
Meticulously prepared by Roberto Antonello and Jean Ferrard, with English translations by Frederick James, ECHOM 4 is more than an edition — it’s an invitation to rediscover the elegance, invention, and spiritual beauty of the Renaissance organ tradition.
