A musical journey through time and space, which, thanks to some of the most beautiful pages of sacred a cappella polyphony of the 16th and 17th centuries, allows the audience to delve in the atmosphere of the major musical chapels of the time. These are the golden years of counterpoint, through whose refined language the greatest composers of the time marked the various moments of the liturgy. The program is interspersed with Gregorian chant, which symbolically divides it into four sections, corresponding to the same number of important moments of the liturgical year: Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter.
