- some rough

or indeed having performed it on a previous occasion)
- commitment to
attend all the rehearsals throughout the project phase
Which piece will be worked on together?
Gioacchino Rossini’s Stabat Mater is the central piece of
church music written by this Italian opera composer. It is based on
a mediaeval poem called Stabat Mater Dolorosa. Following Italian
traditions of church music, Rossini divided the mediaeval sequence
in Stabat Mater into clearly separated solo and ensemble movements.
The care with which he undertook this task is reflected in the fact
that he used no material from earlier works whatsoever. Stabat Mater
contains both operatic elements and features of church music: lively
melodic patterns and dynamic rhythms can be found alongside
contrapuntal sections composed in the old style.
Where will the rehearsals be held?
On
Lake Garda in Italy the
International Oratorio Choir will be using the rehearsal rooms.
The lake presents a wonderful spectacle of natural luminescence and
colours for an unforgettable musical event.
