John Weeks Moore, Complete Encyclopaedia of Music… (1880)
“ There are several other vocal works of Asioli, some of which are published by Birchall in London, and evince a taste in melody equal to that of any of the modern Italian composers. He never attempted the more severe order of composition ; but his works are in music what those of Propertius, Catullus, and Tibullus were in poetry, as compared with Horace and Virgil ; as true music di camera, they will very long be admired. ”
