Some of the Carissimi’s most profound and substantial works are given in this manuscript, and Si dia bando alla speranza may be counted as one of the lightest and most appealing pieces in the manuscript, which also contains a copy of the popular Bel tempo per me se n’andò.

This virtuoso piece on a ground bass caught the attention of some editors of the late 19th-early 20th centuries, including Riemann: 3 editions from 1877 to 1923 are cited by new Grove, but apparently none since. The source of this edition is MS. 51 Christ Church College, Oxford, undoubtedly a product of the intense cultivation of Carissimi’s music by Henry Aldritch and Richard Goodson. <br>
