Il secondo libro de' motetti a voce sola op. 6 - Graziani, Bonifazio 1605-1664 (Rome Fei, 1662)
Bonifazio Graziani's numerous motets for solo voice and for 2, 3, 4 voices, published in dozens of printed collections, and two oratories on a Latin text, Adae oratorium and Filii prodigi oratorium, are particularly memorable. He is considered, together with Giacomo Carissimi and Francesco Foggia, to be one of the most representative composers of Roman sacred music in the concertato style of the 17th century. A large part of his production was published posthumously, by his brother Graziano Graziani and his nephew Domenico Graziani, as ordered by the composer in his will.
