St. Cecilia Mass (1720)

Album by Alessandro Scarlatti & Elizabeth Harwood & Wendy Eathorne & Margaret Cable & Wynford Evans & Christopher Keyte & Cambridge Choir of St John’s College & The Wren Orchestra & George Guest

St. Cecilia Mass (1720) is a mass by Italian Baroque composer Alessandro Scarlatti, dating from 1720. It exemplifies late Italian Baroque sacred style, combining contrapuntal choral writing, expressive solo vocal lines and ornamented orchestral accompaniment, and occupies a place in Scarlatti's mature liturgical output that bridges strict counterpoint with early-18th-century melodic and harmonic trends.
First released: 1980
