The Association

Born in September 2003 the Gruppo Vocale Novecento wants to be a vocal ensemble formed by fifteen elements aged among the 18 and the 32 years old. Choir's repertoire is based on the Renaissance polyphony. The Vocal Group is very particular because is one of the few choirs in Italy approaching such repertoire according to its native execution: infact the Choir is composed only by male voices. The G.V. Novecento, even though in its short life, performed different authors: from the anonymous Gregorians to the polifonistis as de Victoria, Palestrina and Gallus, up to the Baroque Lotti. In five years of life the Choir has been awarded with: the 'special Prize for the interpretation of a sacred character piece' during the 3° Festival della Coralità Veneta; "the special prize "Domenico Ceri" for the best execution of the Renaissance piece of Tomas Louis de Victoria "Domine Jesu Christe” from Officium defunctorum" during the National Choral Competition "Città di Zagarolo”; the band of honour during the “5° festival della Coralità Veneta”
Recently the Choir has performed in the IV edition of the Festival of the choral music "Nella città dei Gremi", on September 2007 in Sassari and besides it has participated in the Gran Reward Choral "Francesco Marcacci" in Montorio al Vomàno (Teramo) on December 2007 receiving many agreements for the presented pieces.
On December 2007 the Choir becomes Musical Association "Gruppo Vocale Novecento" with two autonomous sections, male and female, even if in many occasions they sing together for giving emotions.
The aim of this group of friends jonted by passion for music in its more expressive form, the chant, is to give free and able to touch soul feelings and emotions, through this art…
