Printed by Bartolomeo Magni in Venice in 1641, this third book, whose full title emphasizes Ferrari’s three activities (as poet, singer, and theorbist), also affirms that the author considers himself a poet and sets only his own texts to music. This 34-page collection contains seventeen pieces for solo voice and basso continuo on which, according to Alessandro Magini, “the sophistication of monophonic chant and the refinement of the harmonic-rhythmic structure that make enforcement difficult at a point as only the greatest virtuosos of the court were able to execute them.» It is no coincidence that Ferrari dedicated his collections for voice and continuo to the world of the court.
