Cembaless - Passacaglia della vita (2021)

Passacaglia della Vita an homage to the facets of life: heartache, betrayal, seduction, impermanence, excitement, fun and laughter. At the center of the concept of the program is the eponymous song Passacaglia della Vita by Stefano Landi. While the stanzas depict a wide variety of life situations and repeatedly call for the enjoyment of life in accordance with the motto Carpe diem, the refrain repeats the rather admonishing bisogna morire each of us dies. The reminder of death or in a religious sense, the belief in redemption and life eternal illustrates the finiteness of worldly joys and gives us a framework for life.
