Arvo Pärt's Da Pacem is a meditation for four a cappella voices that pays tribute to the victims of the 2004 Madrid attacks. Alessandro Scarlatti's fervent Salve Regina evokes resilience in the face of tragedy, notably the devastating 1702 Naples earthquake. Domenico Scarlatti's Stabat Mater, a true monument of Italian polyphony, intensely depicts the suffering of Mary at the foot of the cross, in a poignant expression of pain and devotion. Echoing Arvo Pärt, Philippe Hersant's piece rises up as a cry of hope and comfort, this time dedicated to the victims of the conflict in Ukraine, linking past and present with a shared aspiration for peace. Finally, Alessandro Scarlatti's Magnificat, luminous and triumphant, accompanies this musical journey on a note of brilliance and gratitude.
