08 October Italy / Sassuolo (MO)
Free entry + Palace ticket
Wednesday 8 October, Sassuolo
Palazzo Ducale, H. 8.30 PM
CELESTI VOCI
Stabat Mater di Domenico Scarlatti
Audi Caelum di Claudio Monteverdi
Dulcedo Vocal and Instrumental Ensemble
The program brings together two giants of baroque religious music animating the splendid and wide Salone delle Guardie which, with its rich acoustics, reciprocates with its sumptuous spatiality by restoring and increasing the inspiration of the two musical masterpieces. At the dawn of the seventeenth century, Monteverdi drew on liturgical classicism with Vespers to create solemn and meditative writing, where a solo voice and a six-voice choir in antiphon generated an atmosphere of heartfelt devotion. About a century later, Scarlatti presents the Madonna in a moment of intense and lacerating pain. In his Stabat Mater, pathos is conveyed by a large ensemble of ten voices chasing each other in dense counterpoint, amplifying the drama of the event with an expressive force that, while respecting sacredness, enhances its human dimension.
