Missa Tu Es Petrus

Colossal Baroque In Baroque Rome, it was also a case of "chunk, not spill" from a musical perspective. Orazio Benevoli (1605-1672) was one of the most important exponents of the spectacular multi-choir colossal Baroque style. Episode 2 of the I Faglioni recording series on CORO presents his four-choir Missa Benevola, which offers the listener a fascinating interplay between four ensembles. In addition, Carissimi's oratorio Jephte has been transposed to the lower pitch that was used in Rome at the time, giving both the solo voices and the famous sonorous closing choir a deeper tonal color.
