The story is taken from one of the most well-known and tragic episodes in the Old Testament. Weary of mankind&#8217;s wickedness and corruption, God decides to eliminate man and all other forms of life, causing rain to fall on earth for forty days and forty nights. He only spares Noah, his family and the animals of each species that he orders to be housed in the Ark. The subject lends itself perfectly to theatrical adaptation and fits in well with the time and place in which Falvetti was composing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Il diluvio universale<\/em> cannot be characterized as either an oratorio or a classic sacred drama.

That same year, Michelangelo Falvetti was appointed choirmaster of the cathedral. He soon found himself at the heart of the city&#8217;s musical activities, earning acclaim as a composer and event organiser. Originally from Calabria, he decided to settle in Messina, a city where he had also carried out his studies. When he arrived, the city was still dealing with the consequences of its rebellion against the Spanish crown. The themes of disobedience and divine punishment in <i>Il Diluvio Universale<\/i> would therefore have resonated with the political context of the time.<\/p>\n<p>The text contains some modern features that can also be found in Arcangelo Spagna&#8217;s Discourse on Oratorios (1706): few characters, a concise text and no narrator. In the prologue, the protagonists are Divine Justice and the four elements: Air, Earth, Fire and Water. The dialogue involves Noah, his wife Rad, God, Death and Human Nature. Like in Carissimi\u2019s oratorios, choruses play an important role and are often written in five parts.<\/p>\n<p>The instrumental writing is relatively simple, often homorhythmic, with themes developed by the voices or instruments themselves. One exception is the opening <i>Sinfonia<\/i>. The chords in the beginning are followed by an episode in imitative counterpoint. The <i>Sinfonia di tempeste<\/i> also features different parts that enter on the same note, from high register to low, illustrating the gradually rising waters.<\/p>\n<p>The composer paid particular attention to the choir. The writing is elegant and varied, both in terms of the number of voices and style. We can find homophony, counterpoint, and the use of two or three parallel voices and tutti to obtain a particular timbre. Such is the case of the divided chorus \u201cA fuggire, a morire\u201d, which depicts the fear of men who are at the mercy of the waves like a sound fresco. We may also cite the five-voice chorus \u201cE chi mi d\u00e0 aita\u201d, in which the words \u201cVi&#8230;ta\u201d and \u201cMor&#8230;te\u201d are pronounced in unresolved chords.<\/p>\n<p>Il diluvio universal cannot be characterized as either an oratorio or a classical sacred drama. This score, which was then forgotten for three centuries, has no equivalent in the history of the Italian oratorio.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n    <\/section>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n\n<section class=\"container partenaires-telechargements no-file\">\n\n    <div class=\"partenaires\">\n        <h3>Our partners<\/h3>\n        <div class=\"partenaires_content\">\n                            <div class=\"partenaire_item\" data-call-modal=\"fondation-orange-2\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"696\" height=\"385\" src=\"https:\/\/cappellamediterranea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fondation-Orange-e1686838845925.jpeg\" alt=\"\">\n                <\/div>\n\n                <div class=\"modal\" style=\"visibility: hidden;\" data-modal=\"fondation-orange-2\">\n                    <div class=\"content-modal col1\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"696\" height=\"385\" src=\"https:\/\/cappellamediterranea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fondation-Orange-e1686838845925.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Fondation-Orange\" >\n                        <p>Cappella Mediterranea is supported by Fondation Orange.<\/p>\n                        <span class=\"icon-close\"><\/span>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                            <div class=\"partenaire_item\" data-call-modal=\"caisse-depargne-ra-2\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/cappellamediterranea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Caisse-depargne-RA-e1686899986286.jpeg\" alt=\"\">\n                <\/div>\n\n                <div class=\"modal\" style=\"visibility: hidden;\" data-modal=\"caisse-depargne-ra-2\">\n                    <div class=\"content-modal col1\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/cappellamediterranea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Caisse-depargne-RA-e1686899986286.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Caisse d'\u00e9pargne RA\" >\n                        <p>This album was produced with the support of Caisse d&#8217;Epargne.<\/p>\n                        <span class=\"icon-close\"><\/span>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                            <div class=\"partenaire_item\" data-call-modal=\"pref-region-auvergne-rhone-alpes-cmjn-20200902092534-square-2\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/cappellamediterranea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PREF-region-Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes-CMJN-20200902092534-square-e1686300701775.jpeg\" alt=\"\">\n                <\/div>\n\n                <div class=\"modal\" style=\"visibility: hidden;\" data-modal=\"pref-region-auvergne-rhone-alpes-cmjn-20200902092534-square-2\">\n                    <div class=\"content-modal col1\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/cappellamediterranea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PREF-region-Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes-CMJN-20200902092534-square-e1686300701775.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"PREF-region-Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes-CMJN-20200902092534-square\" >\n                        <p>This album was produced with the support of the Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes region.<\/p>\n                        <span class=\"icon-close\"><\/span>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                            <div class=\"partenaire_item\" data-call-modal=\"scpp-2\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/cappellamediterranea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/scpp-e1687167552610.jpeg\" alt=\"\">\n                <\/div>\n\n                <div class=\"modal\" style=\"visibility: hidden;\" data-modal=\"scpp-2\">\n                    <div class=\"content-modal col1\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/cappellamediterranea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/scpp-e1687167552610.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"scpp\" >\n                        <p>This disc was produced with the support of the SCPP.<\/p>\n                        <span class=\"icon-close\"><\/span>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/section><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Forgotten for three centuries, Falvetti&#8217;s Il Diluvio universale is a work of unparallelled originality.
