The programme delves into the profound connections between spiritual devotion and the emotive power of music across the centuries. It will explore how the dual themes of love and faith have been intertwined in musical compositions, reflecting the depth of human passion and the enduring nature of spiritual belief.
Even the Holy Scriptures have consistently served as a source of inspiration for modes of expression that have historically been unified according to a precise artistic canon that has been developed over centuries, whereby the Word is expressed through Sound. The liturgy and its texts have thus become another essential driving force behind the most diverse and significant musical forms and genres.
Through the sensitivity of the performer, these forms and genres are able to describe the admirable intertwining of the human and the divine, giving it ‘voice’ not only in the great cathedrals, but also in the quiet and intimate atmosphere of the domestic spaces such as the nineteenth-century salotto. Traversing the rich landscape of sacred and secular works, we celebrate the universal expressions of the soul’s deepest affections and its journey toward the divine.
From liturgical and musicological research comes, therefore, a musical excursus showcasing the secular and sacred repertoire in Italian and Latin, juxtaposing the 15th-century roughness with the rich polyphonic weavings of the Renaissance and the elegant artifices of the early Italian Baroque. This evocative itinerary will lead the audience into the most contemplative – dimension in which the voice often lets itself go in broad melismas that, more than words, capture and metaphysically embody the inner peregrinatio of the secular poetry along with the personal meditation suggested by the sacred texts.
