Il Miracolo della Pace
A vivid journey from the clamour of conflict to the quiet miracle of peace. Seventeenth-century composers painted battles in striking musical detail and then turned toward reflection, lament, and reconciliation. The programme moves from martial fanfares and foot-soldier rhythms to music of consolation and stillness.
