CONCERT SUGGESTION

“ET INCARNATUS EST“
With Augustine and Gregorian chant in the mystery of Christ
The Church has always been the custodian and interpreter of the Holy Scriptures. The mystery of the Incarnation is at the centre of its reflection and at the heart of its faith. Gregorian chant tells of this faith and has its roots in the exegetic tradition of the sacred texts, shaped for the patristic circle. The “sound” of the Gregorian chant repeats the “sense” that the Church intended to give to these texts, proclaimed in the Holy Liturgy with different forms and styles but with equal solemnity and noble art of rhetoric. The combination of Gregorian chant and the texts of St. Augustine appears therefore both appropriate as well as necessary and illuminating in order to grasp in fullness the most authentic background of a liturgical-musical repertoire which the Church has made its own and which European music culture has placed at the foundation of a well defined secular path.
