Interesting Facts

Antonio Vivaldi’s In Turbato Mare Irato is a cantata that captures the drama and unpredictability of the sea with intricate vocal lines and shifting tempi. Its inclusion here highlights the expressive power of Baroque vocal music. Saint-Saëns’ Oratorio de Noël, composed in 1858, is one of the most cherished Romantic choral works for the Christmas season, blending serene melodies with rich orchestral textures. The combination of these two works provides listeners with a unique listening journey from the turbulence of Vivaldi’s Baroque imagery to the lyrical warmth of Saint-Saëns’ holiday oratorio.
