The Gates of Heaven
While this musical journey sets its sights on reaching heaven, it starts out with an exploration of decidedly worldly, terrestrial aspects of our existence. Frescobaldi’s aria is both a warning and a reprisal from a man who has seen love, beauty and youth slip from his grasp. In Lasso’s madrigal, while a youth succumbs to the allure of the flesh, he would rather perish than offend God. The journey continues – along the way there is jubilation and bliss, as well as pain and sorrow for the passion and suffering of Christ. This is Italian music at the turn of the 18 th century, by composers that exquisitely represent the Baroque esthetic and its splendor.
