Italian composer Marco Frisina (b.1954) sets this tale in a moving and appealing musical language, in the great Italian choral tradition, reaching back as far as Palestrina.
After studying composition at the Conservatory Santa Cecilia in Rome, Marco Frisina enrolled at a theological college, and was ordained as a priest in 1982. He carries out his ministry in Rome, where he founded and directs the Choir of the Diocese of Rome, which he recently took on tour to the USA. In addition to his sacred vocal works, Frisina has also composed scores for several religious-themed films.
This disc presents the sacred cantata Passio Ceciliae, which tells the story of the virginal Cecilia and details the events leading up to her martyrdom. Characteristics of Frisinaˇ's work can be found in the lush harmonisation of the choral movement 'Psalm 45', which is undoubtedly a highlight of the recording. Acclaimed Italian soprano Barbara Vignudelli sings the protagonist role, with David Scogna narrating.
