Compare the opening setting of the words, "Kyrie eleison" to Bach's celebrated, vaunted Mass in b. I will not judge which is superior music. I will, however, assert that there are eerie melodic and structural perils. Let those with doctorates in music debate whether Bach could have known this work, or whether there was some parallel rediscovery of what I would call, "musical truth". I pride myself in having studied and loved the Baroque for over 50 years. Never, in my overconfidence, did I explore Colonna's efforts, until today -- and almost by accident. I am inexpressibly humbled -- this is masterwork of the first class. For me, it eclipses Alessandro Scarlatti.
I have just realized that you said the same as I did. But you said it two years before me. I am perplexed just like you with the same question. Have you found any explanations since then?
A fantastic mass. Thanks for uploading it. Anticipates the pinnacle of the baroque masses, the B-minor mass. Very much. Or am I mistaken? Or is it something everyone knows except me? Sorry, can anyone tell me why I think that this Kyrie resembles the Kyrie from the B-minor mass by J. S, Bach? And not only the Kyrie. Might there be any kind of connection? Or is it merely-purely accidental? Help me, please. Thanks.

Hello. I have to agree with you. Kinda eerie isn't the similarity...
