Sagrada

SAGRADA was written in 2016 after a trip to Barcelona. During that trip my wife and I visited the famous church La Familia Sagrada. It is one of the most stunning buildings in the world and I was awe struck. This Sonata da Chiesa has a series of short sections in which I have sought to depict the mysterious, beautiful grandeur of the building and then to capture the pious meaning and spiritual uplift of the holy space. In the piece I quoted the Catalonian chant "Cuncti simus Concanentes"(Libre de Montserrat - Catalonia siglo 14)" ("Let us sing together")
