Giovanni Gabrieli is considered the undisputed master of Venetian polychoral music, tailoring many of his compositions specifically to the venue – the famous St Mark’s Cathedral. Henry Balfour Gardiner also wrote his intimate Evening Hymn for the church setting, while Igor Stravinsky, although dedicating his Symphony of Psalms “to the glory of God”, penned it expressly for the concert hall.
Giuseppe Tartini, the creator of the Devil’s Trill Sonata, achieved fame not because of his spirituality, but due of his alleged pact with the devil.
When Joseph Haydn received his honorary degree from Oxford University, it was likely his Symphony No 92 that was performed on the occasion. Lahav Shani conducts this festive programme between church and concert hall.
