The songs performed range from Bring me little water Silvy, work song written by Lead Belly (one of the most important exponents of blues music), to the famous Aria on the fourth string by Johann Sebastian Bach; and Hallelujah, on Leonard Cohen (with the arrangement by Alberto Maniaci) a Contemporary Mass n. 1 Anima Mundi by Giuseppe Ricotta, which engages the young performers of the Cantoria by bringing together styles and traditions of varied origins in its language. We continue with Love fail, the performance for voices by the American composer David Lang and with a medley taken from the film Sister Act.
