Luigi Ceccarelli's “Exsultet” was honoured with a Honorary Mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 1997, category Digital Musics & Sound Art. Explore 1 other work by Luigi Ceccarelli below.
"Exsultet" uses the text and melody of "Exsultet", the ancient gregorian version of the Christian liturgy. A soloist begins the composition conventionally by singing the original version. Space, clearly artificial, is the only variant. The voices of the other singers slowly follow one by one.
