Tabulae - Canti della Settimana Santa / Chants of Holy Easter Week
Compagnia Sacco, from 90 years now, is one of the most authentic and exciting examples of traditional Italian polyphony. In the small village of Ceriana (Liguria) is still alive a vocal style based on the strong presence of the vocal bass drone.
In this album, they present the complete collection of ancient songs performed by Ceriana’s Brotherhoods on the occasion of the Holy Week rites, sacred songs in Latin. Arousing feelings of deep emotion and profound spirituality.
Compagnia Sacco is a living proof of polyphonic traditional singing in Ceriana, a Ligurian small village. The group was formed in 1926 , following an initiative of friends and singers, fond of the village’s traditions. In this ancient tradition there is a strong presence of the “bordone”, a voice which creates a continuous bass structure. The chant is introduced by the baritone (second voice) then the tenor (first voice) comes in with a higher and more acute tone. The bass accompanies and hold the soloists. The polyphony that emerges, sustained by the beauty of the songs, produces deep emotions and a natural vocal harmony. Profane chants are nearly all in Ceriana’s dialect, the holy ones are in Latin.
Compagnia Sacco presents, on this album, the whole colletion of the songs performed by the religious Brotherhoods of Ceriana during the Holy Easter Week.
