On May 9, 2018, in the wonderful setting of the Church of San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore (Milan), on the very day of the Claudio Monteverdi’s birthday (1567-1643), Intende Voci Ensemble presents the complete version of his “Il primo libro di Madrigali a cinque voci”.
Then, a masterpiece of 20th century music: the Messa di Requiem for mixed voices a cappella by Ildebrando Pizzetti.
Completed in 1922 and meant to be performed only by a cappella voices, it is the first of his great choral compositions and is part of the Gregorian tradition adopted by the composer. The writing varies from four to twelve voices.
