s i l l a b e music Pope Frances, the poor and outcast, and a Mass composed by ten women
Why a Mass for the downtrodden of the earth? Because the Holy Father focuses on this painful reality in his thoughts and homilies. Subsistence, survival, resistance: problems multiplying all over the world in an exponential way. Fondazione Adkins Chiti: Women in Music encouraged ten women composers to write a new work to remember the poor, forgotten and outcast.
A Mass, the high point of ecclesiastical liturgy, was written by five Italian and five Argentinian women to encourage us all to remember the underprivileged.
