Fragments of Gregorian chant are reassembled in the jewel-toned mosaic that is Respighi鈥檚 1927 Church Windows 鈥� given its Proms debut by Nil Venditti and the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra. Four richly scored orchestral movements each depict a different scene in sound: a shimmering nocturne for 鈥楾he Flight into Egypt鈥�, a luminous portrait of St Clare and explosive martial conflict for 鈥楾he Archangel Saint Michael鈥�. Ancient musical models also inspired Rossini鈥檚 operatic Stabat mater 鈥� a powerful spiritual statement from the master of secular drama.
