Music as the engine and soul of spirituality, a tool for listening and caring for creation: the largest sacred music concert in Sardinia will be held on Saturday 20 July in Cagliari, with over 600 parishes from all over Sardinia and almost 1000 choirs invited.
“Mama, Fiza and Isposa de Su Segnore” is the title chosen for the event which will see the participation of 50 choristers from the Diocese of Rome directed by Maestro Mons. Marco Frisina, an internationally renowned priest, biblical scholar and composer, accompanied by 40 musicians from Conservatory of Music of Cagliari in an exceptional location, the Basilica of Nostra Signora di Bonaria.
For the occasion, Maestro Frisina reworked the well-known Sardinian composition “Deus Ti Salvet” for choir and orchestra. During the concert, Maestro Frisina's unreleased song "Christ is My Hope", presented a few days ago and dedicated to the Youth Jubilee, will also be presented for the first time.
Monsignor Baturi: «Singing is one of the most basic expressions for man, who uses it to convey his feelings. A community expresses its joy and pain by singing, in prayer singing becomes a manifestation of the relationship with God. And this is even more important in a historical moment characterized by wars, uncertainties, blood and pain. Saturday will be a moment of greater awareness, prayer and shared desire to build a better world."
Valentina Pistolesi, Head of Organizational and Legal Sustainability of 4Dharma: «The event aims to represent a moment of expanded participation and aims, in the perspective of the gift, to strengthen the sense of Community and Custody of Creation by conveying the deepest values linked to sharing of spaces and time which, also through music, becomes one of the most important social aggregators".
Don Mariano Matzeu, Head of Diocesan Youth Ministry and Regional Representative: «It is with profound gratitude that we welcomed the participation in Cagliari of Monsignor Frisina who will perform the Youth Jubilee Hymn for the first time, bringing the international atmosphere to Sardinia too of these meetings involving thousands of young people. Singing is a unifying element and becomes, in this context, the highest expression of prayer and the joy of being together."
