Divine Muse: Honoring St. Cecilia

The Divine Muse series culminates on the eve of Saint Cecilia’s Feast Day, with two master works inspired by the patron saint of music: George Frideric Handel’s Ode for St. Cecilia’s Day Overture and Alessandro Scarlatti’s St. Cecilia Mass. Now rarely heard, the latter piece during its time was considered an equal to Bach’s Magnificat. Trinity’s adaptation by music librarian Harrison E. Joyce adds wind instruments to the original orchestration.
