Catalogue

| Motets | Masses | Orchestral works |

All works are edited by Ben Byram-Wigfield, unless otherwise stated. The catalogue is divided into two groups: those works that are written in the stile antico for choir and organ; and those works of 'concert' scale that are for choir with soloists and instrumental accompaniment.
Only those works with prices are completed; the remainder are currently in production. Prices include postage and packing with the UK. Overseas customers should email for details of postage tariffs. There are discounts for bulk purchases.

For Choir, with (or without) organ accompaniment

These works may be performed unaccompanied or with light organ accompaniment. Almost all of the works appear in the sources in both accompanied and unaccompanied forms. Charles Burney, upon hearing Lotti's music performed in Venice in the 1770s, wrote: "It affected me even to tears. The organist here very judiciously suffered the voices to be heard in all their purity, insomuch that I frequently forgot that they were accompanied."
