Programme

Overview

Surrender to the solemn splendour of St Mark’s Basilica with il Pomo d’Oro. Gabrieli’s intricate Psalm 51 polyphony melds into Cavalli’s profound Requiem Mass, a voyage from penance to redemption. Immerse yourself in an evening of baroque transcendence.Step into the majestic soundscape of St Mark’s Basilica as il Pomo d’Oro explores two baroque masterpieces in a programme of profound introspection and sublime beauty. Giovanni Gabrieli’s setting of the penitential Psalm 51 weaves six independent vocal lines into a tapestry of luminous polyphony, each phrase resonating with solemn intensity. The journey deepens with Francesco Cavalli’s Missa pro Defunctis, composed for the composer’s own funeral, unfolding in two choirs of four voices whose austere harmonies and radiant choral dialogues evoke both mourning and the promise of eternal grace. Against a backdrop of reverent stillness, the ensemble’s crystalline clarity and emotional depth guide listeners from earthly penance to transcendent hope. This evocative evening of baroque ritual offers a rare chance to contemplate life’s final mysteries through the sublime power of early music.
