RISM C1438 (3 copies in the U.S. only). Casini, an Italian church musician and composer, "was reputed to be the greatest organist of his time in Italy and is known to have played a five-manual harpsichord invented by Francesco Nigetti. Casini wrote in a highly personal, contrapuntal, neo-Palestrinian style. The expressive chromaticism and wandering tonality of his motets, e.g. op. 1, are found even in his Canzonetti spirituali intended for unison singing by the congregation."
