«La nostra musica di chiesa è assai differente...». Mozart e la musica sacra italiana, Atti del Convegno internazionale di studi, Pavia, Collegio Ghislieri, 9-10 ottobre 2015

[Autom. eng. transl.] a dozen essays collected in the present volume look from multiple angles at a triple object: the vast and complex world of Italian church music of the second half of the eighteenth century, following the encyclical Annus qui hunc («the excellent musical performances that the people of the people he can listen to the churches every day, "according to Charles Burney); that of Wolfgang Amadé Mozart, who in Italy wrote little church music but listened to a great deal and kept a long memory and lesson; finally, their reciprocal relationships, dynamic and complex relationships that live on tangencies and distances, as the Mozart quotation adopted as a title states. Thus a series of disparate questions is put to the theme, all essential to the composition of such a complex picture: questions of context (productive, aesthetic and executive), stylistic, morphological, contemporary, posthumous and contemporary, treated with a variety of approaches , from the survey that crosses wide geographical areas to the lunge that invests a single job. Common to each contribution, as well as the resulting composite fresco is an inescapable impression: the richness of the Kulturtransfer process that for some centuries had rendered the geographical barrier of the Alps porous and renewed itself with marvelous effectiveness in the dialogue between Mozart , the Italian church music and oratory of his time.
