CORO DA CAMERA DI VARESE
musich from Palestrina, Arvo Pärt and Andrea Lotti
Sacred representation with the Varese Chamber Choir, conducted by Gabriele Conti, percussionist Simone Beneventi and the Ars Discantica duo. Starting from the three versions of Antonio Lotti’s Crucifixus (1667-1740), one for six voices, the second for eight voices and the last for ten voices, a path is created on the Passion of Jesus with interventions of percussion instruments from the Orthodox tradition, such as the Semantron and crotales, and resonances reworked in live electronics. Other compositions from the sacred choral repertoire are integrated: Arvo Pärt’s Triodion and Summa and Gregorio Allegri’s Miserere.
