Overview

Gaudeamus.... Agathae, directed by Antonella Soana Fracassi, is a 1997 release by the Schola Gregoriana Di Cremona. The album beautifully blends Gregorian chant with Renaissance polyphony, featuring works by the little-known composer Nicolò Corradini (?-1646). The disc presents a rich selection of liturgical music, including chants for the feast of St. Agatha, with pieces like the Introitus, Kyrie, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei. Corradini’s fugues, along with sacred hymns, demonstrate the scholarly and emotive depth of Gregorian and Renaissance choral music. The album’s historical focus is amplified by the precision of the ensemble and the guidance of Fracassi, creating a contemplative and spiritual listening experience.
