On 1 June 2024, at the church of San Luigi dei Francesi in Rome, a dream of mine came true: the first performance in modern times of pieces from my edition of sacred music by Alessandro Melani. The performance took place at the church of San Luigi dei Francesi and featured the Namur Chamber Choir and Cappella Mediterranea under the direction of Leonardo García Alarcón, along with vocal soloists Mariana Flores, Alice Borciani, David Sagastume, and Matteo Bellotto. Melani’s atmospheric settings of Marian antiphons and the litany, along with the monumental Missa Cellesa, were enthusiastically received by both audience and performers.
