Two choral appointments entitled " Inaudita Carmina ", a monographic program in which the unpublished compositions of Maestro Antonio Sanna stand out, the unforgettable director of the Turritano Polyphonic Choir first and then of the Singers of the Resurrection, founded in Porto Torres.
The protagonist is the Sardinian Regional Choir don Antonio Sanna , a group born from a project started in 2019 made up of 54 singers from the vocal formations registered in Fersaco.
The appointment is for tomorrow , Saturday 4 March, at 8 pm, in Quartu Sant'Elena , in the church of Santo Stefano.
A second event is scheduled for Saturday 11 March in Sassari, again at 8 pm, in the Mater Ecclesiae church .
The “Inaudita Carmina” project was entrusted by Fersaco to Laura Lambroni and Fabio Fresi , current directors of the Turritano Polyphonic Choir and the Resurrection Singers, respectively. They will take turns directing the Don Antonio Sanna Sardinian Regional Choir during the two concerts that will take place in the upper and lower cape of Sardinia.
A symbolic union of Maestro Sanna's main artistic experiences and his love for an island celebrated during his life, from north to south, through choral music and numerous relationships with colleagues and polyphony enthusiasts. An experience of relationships and sharing which, more than thirty years ago, also led to the birth of Fersaco, a regional federation which today brings together around eighty choirs and of which Don Sanna was a co-founder.
The concerts will be introduced by the musician Gabriele Verdinelli who will talk about the figure of Don Antonio Sanna as a composer, illustrating the ability to use popular music material in classical music compositions, his compositional methods and explaining what drove him to write pieces of the popular tradition . In the lineup there will be sacred songs in Italian (Peace is man, on a text by Father David Maria Turoldo and Ave Maria) and in Latin (Pone me ut signaculum and Ego dilecto meo, taken from the Song of Songs).
