A mass madrigal with internationally renowned vocal ensemble, I Fagiolini

About the project

In summer 2021, we invited British vocal ensemble I Fagiolini to lead us in learning a rarely-performed piece of Renaissance music: ‘Rimanti in pace’ by Claudio Monteverdi. Founded and directed by Robert Hollingworth, I Fagiolini are internationally renowned for their imaginative, innovative performances of early music.

This unusual project gave hundreds of Stay At Home Choir singers the opportunity to take on a madrigal that is normally sung one to a part. ‘Rimanti in pace’ is an a cappella song about love, loss, and romance, which tells the story of an emotional farewell between lovers. Stay At Home Choir members sang the role of the narrator, with I Fagiolini performing the lines sung by the lovers.

Rehearsals began in July 2021 and submissions closed in August 2021. The final video was released on 24th February 2022 and featured recordings from nearly 1000 singers.
