Music and sacred art’s internationals festival
Posted By admin
The Mecenate Palace Hotel is happy to remind you the High Mass in Immaculate Conception’s honour at the Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica…..a moment projecting us into a deep inner silence and conducting in a rarefied spirituality in which we can find the Christ Mother holy chant and man chant for Her.
The History tells that in ancient time was possible to hear Mass during the which people could hear a long musical accompaniment to the liturgy made by several inns, motets, antiphons and devotional prayers….. today also is very evocative to hear a musical event for a Mass.
26th November 2008 at 9,00pm Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica will give hospitality to a long night of Music for Chant in Immaculate Conception’s honour, imaged and directed by Peter Latona, the Chapel Master at the USA National Basilica.
During this musical event will be performed famous chants directly coming from the high Italian polyphonic school, Marenzio, Monteverdi, de Victoria and Ugolini together with traditional melodies linked to particular churches or worship places. The event will arrive to perform some examples of sacred chants of XX century and some chants of two contemporary and world appreciated composers….a hymn for Christ Mother and ten voices in double chorus composed by the British John Taverner in the 1985 and the Magnificat of Arvo Pärt of 1989.
