Quattro pezzi sacri

Album by Giuseppe Verdi & Cambridge Choir of King’s College & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Stephen Cleobury

Quattro pezzi sacri is a collection of four sacred choral works by Giuseppe Verdi, published in 1898. Composed late in his career after his major operas, the pieces employ late-Romantic harmonies, contrapuntal techniques and a mix of a cappella and accompanied textures, reflecting Verdi's engagement with liturgical forms and counterpoint rather than operatic drama.
