MISERERE

The future of tradition

“Miserere” is a sought-after crossover project rooted in Italy’s noblest musical heritage, in which the art of improvisation typical of the jazz idiom is wedded to the stylistic features of the past. A millennium of masterpieces drawn from the ancient Gregorian antiphonaries and medieval laudaries, from the Renaissance counterpoint of the Roman and Venetian schools to touching on melodrama; a journey through time and the Italic sound entirely interpreted by artists who have distinguished themselves for their ability to renew tradition. The pieces all have unreleased arrangements, specially prepared by Mario Corvini to enhance both the refined phrasing of Rosario Giuliani and the enveloping, searching timbres of the MAC Saxophone Quartet, one of the quartets most appreciated for their work in protecting and innovating the Italian school.
