Classics with NOW - Verdi 'Four Sacred Pieces'
This week in Classics with NOW, we’re revisiting our performance of Verdi’s Four Sacred Pieces from November 2017 with the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ National Chorus of Wales and conductor Xian Zhang.
Verdi was well-known for his opera writing, but also wrote some sacred music. These four choral works - Ave Maria, Stabat Mater, Laudi alla Vergine Maria and Te Deum - were written separately during the last decades of Verdi’s life and published together in 1898. The first performance (without the Ave Maria) was in the same year.
The Four Sacred Pieces take us from serene to dramatic, so there’s something for every mood this Friday afternoon.
