Perosi: Verspertina oratio & Natalitia

Immerse yourself in the sacred and serene compositions of Lorenzo Perosi with his album "Perosi: Vespertina oratio & Natalitia." Released on March 1, 2014, under the Bongiovanni label, this album is a collection of sacred choral works that showcase Perosi's mastery of sacred music. Spanning a duration of 1 hour and 16 minutes, the album is divided into two main sections: "Vespertina oratio" and "Natalitia."

The "Vespertina oratio" section features nine tracks, each a beautifully crafted prayer or hymn, sung in Latin. These pieces are characterized by their rich harmonies and contemplative melodies, evoking a sense of peace and reverence. The "Natalitia" section, on the other hand, consists of four tracks that focus on the nativity, with the intermezzo strumentale providing a brief instrumental interlude.

Perosi, an Italian composer and choirmaster, was known for his sacred music, and this album is a testament to his skill and devotion. The performances on this album are by the Coro della Cappella Musicale del Duomo di Milano, conducted by Perosi himself. The album is a beautiful representation of sacred choral music, offering a moment of tranquility and reflection in our busy lives.
