This program presents a complete journey into Baroque Polyphony, centered on the Holy Mass and sacred Latin motets of the 18th century.

The core of the collection follows the structure of the Ordinarium Missae — Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei — the fixed parts of the Catholic Mass that inspired composers throughout the Baroque era. In these movements, contrapuntal clarity, balanced vocal writing, and luminous harmonic language reflect the sacred ideals of late Baroque church music.

Alongside the Mass, the program includes Marian antiphons such as Regina Coeli and Salve Regina, festive psalm settings like Laudate Dominum and Beatus vir, and expressive Latin motets drawn from Scripture. These works were intended for liturgical celebration in cathedrals and chapels, where choir and sacred text became one unified act of worship.

Baroque sacred polyphony of the 18th century stands at the meeting point of tradition and expressive refinement. It preserves the discipline of Renaissance counterpoint while embracing the dramatic energy and harmonic richness characteristic of the Baroque period. The result is music that is both architecturally structured and spiritually vibrant.
