InCantus by Coro Città di Roma

The choral production - understood in numerical terms of quality compositions - has for some decades now reached goals that were once unexpected. Likewise the "choral school", in its various forms of dissemination, has grown significantly from the point of view of quantity and quality, thanks to the growing number of choirs now in full swing in every corner of our daily lives. Associative, school and university choirs, musical chapels and various other forms of staff have therefore allowed the creation of real training schools not only for conductors, but also for choral music composers. It is no coincidence, therefore, that more than half of the compositions on this CD are the work of young Italian composers - Donati, Da Rold, Incitti and Josia - who are at the same time also excellent choir conductors. Their compositions represent precisely that musical completeness given by the true composer of choral music, the one who fully knows the "chorus" instrument, and who manages to live it completely. Therefore, the beauty, the freshness and that hint of Italian spirit, which are found in their interesting compositions, are not surprising. The composers themselves have always had a very strong link with the City of Rome Choir and, over the years, many of their compositions have elegantly entered the repertoire of the Roman formation. Some of their choral pages have been dedicated to our choir and we are obviously flattered about this.
Mine wants to be a thanks to them for all the work, passion and love that shines through the pages of their songs for the choral.
