Documents can nonetheless be misleading because they often provide incomplete information. The problem is examined here through an analysis of musicians’ lists for liturgical music in S. Agnese in Agone in Rome. The present article aims to link archival and music sources, so that payrolls and receipts, score and parts integrate each other to form a whole, thus providing as much information as possible about performance practice. Among the works discussed here are oratories such as Scarlatti’s La Maddalena (1685) and Lulier’s Beatrice d’Este (1689), Pasquini’s serenata Applauso musicale (1687) and Lanciani’s dramma pastorale Amore e gratitudine (1690).

The correspondence, preserved in the Doria Pamphilj Archive, concerns the years 1684-1723. Silva informs the prince every week of what is happening at Rome from a political, religious and cultural viewpoint. Alongside the notices of greater importance, there is gossip and information on the amusements of the Roman patriciate. There are more than a few references to carnival comedies, academies, serenades and liturgical music, sometimes mentioned in passing, sometimes with a wealth of detail. The correspondence shows once again the vivacity of musical life in Rome at the turn of the century, and the importance it acquired in the eyes of the Roman nobility.
