Let’s go stargazing! Caterina Chiarcos takes us to Heaven with these motets for solo voice dedicated to “Illustrissima Signora D. Antonia Francesca Clerici. Monaca,” who was a soloist of the Vespers at the convent of Santa Redegonda di Milan. Giovanni Legrenzi spent a year in Milan, hoping to become the maestro di cappella of the Duomo, before accepting the same position at San Marco in Venezia, and he was enchanted by this singer.
Music from “Acclamationi Divote” di G. Legrenzi (1626-1690)
