    As usual, a google search is a dragnet that sometimes reveals unexpected info.

    http://www.ripm.org/?page=JournalInfo&ABB=GMM
    is among the links returned and points to a webpage that starts with ...

    Gazzetta musicale di Milano (Milan, 1842-1862, 1866-1902)
    Complete Introduction (1842-1862): Italian | English
    Complete Introduction (1866-1902): Italian | English

    So, I click the 1842-62 English link and get a PDF
    and discover it does not seem to have been scanned with OCR (optical character recognition)
    which forces me to read all seven pages
    (and not find info about my target, Carlo Andrea Gambini),
    BUT, I did find at the bottom of PDF page 4 ...
    From the beginning, major articles are very frequently presented in series sometimes spanning several months. In 1842, for example, series are devoted to
    [...]
    Not all major series were signed. One on liturgical chant published in 1856 serves as an example.

    I do not need the info, but maybe someone else will find it useful.

    So, do you have access to this journal?

    Please, someone, report here what this "major article / major series" contains
    for the general interest and benefit of the CMAA membership!

    Well, I will just continue talking to myself.

    I have not yet found the OP item on liturgical chant.

    But I have found this [from this link scroll back to see page 379 == Anno XLIV N 24. 16 June 1889] ...

    Il mio primo articolo aveva mirato a rilevare come causa
    della decadenza della music sacra in italia, il poco o nessun
    conto in cui si tengono dai musicisti le opere classiche
    antiche, specialmente quelle della gloriosa scuola romana.

    [Google translate: My first article had aimed to take over as cause
    the decadence of sacred music in Italy, the little or no
    account in which are held by the musicians of the classical works
    antique, especially those of the glorious Roman School.]
