The court tenor, Giov. Batt.
Bonometti (? Bergamo - ca.1620 Vienna), published the collection
''Parnassus musicus Ferdinandeus'' (Venice 1615) to celebrate Archduke
Ferdinand's 20th anniversary as governor of Styria. The collection
contains sacred concerts for 1 to 5 voices with a basso continuo
composed by members of the court chapel in Graz as well as by famous
Italian composers.

''Exultate Jubilemus'' for four voices was
composed by Georg Poss (ca. 1570 Franken - after 1637 Vienna?) a court
trumpeter and cornettist. Poss was the oldest member of the court
chapel in Graz. It is a measure of his popularity among his
contemporaries that he was the only German composer included in this
collection.

The illustration shows the mausoleum in Graz, that
Archduke Ferdinand had built as his last resting place before he moved
to Vienna to become Emperor. (E. Stadler)
