Luigi Nono

Sarà dolce tacere

With "Sarà dolce tacere", vocal ensembles are invited to discover a fascinating sonic masterpiece of extraordinary intensity and emotional depth. Composed for eight solo voices (SSAATTBB), the work unfolds an exquisite dialogue between poignant silence and expressive sonority. The demanding solo scoring both challenges and inspires accomplished singers, while the artful polyphony ensures an unforgettable concert experience. Premiered on February 17, 1961, in Washington under the direction of Frederick Prausnitz, this historic work is presented here in a high-quality score from the renowned publisher Ars Viva. An indispensable gem of sophisticated vocal literature—ideal for dedicated solo ensembles and ambitious concert programmes.
