Motets and arias (volume 3)
collected and edited by Johann Adam Hiller 1779
In his six-volume collection Motets and arias for choir Johann Adam Hiller compiled the works of his fellow composers in six volumes and published them himself.
The third volume of this collection contains compositions of the master motet composers, Homilius and Rolle, as well as works by Graun, Caldara, Fehre, Tag and Hiller. The motet by Caldara, a Latin composition for three lower voices and basso continuo, is in many respects out of place.
