»Cathedrals«, four monumental musical tapestries of liturgical chants of every era and religions for orchestras, choruses, pipe organs, pianos and very much more.

Since winter 2013 and for many years, the Author had worked full-time on the realization of these extremely ambitious musical architectures; whereupon, in 2022, this project, like all his others, ended up merging in that one all-encompassing project, know as »Gardens«.

»Ecce Rex Veniet«, one of the preliminary studies for developing »Cathedrals« together with »The Mass is Ended«, was presented on Rai Radio 2 on Sunday, the 2nd May 2010, at 14:00, during an interview with the composer within the radio program »Invisibili« (i.e. »Invisibles«), hosted by Luca Sticcotti together with Tiziano Popoli.
