The Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth was one of the largest and most populous countries of 16th and 17th century in Europe. During the reign of Sigismund III Vasa, Poland-Lithuania had a period of growth and prosperity. In order to reinforce the political alliance with another giant of the time, Sigismund married two Habsburg princesses, first Anne and then Constance of Austria. This coalition allowed an important cultural exchange between the two houses; we know that some musicians were traveling from one court to another, and this mutual exchange enlightened and enriched the cultural and musical life in both countries.
Aiming to remember and pay tribute to this alliance, this program is based on two master pieces, representing respectively the Vasa and the Habsburg houses; the “Sancta Maria” mass by Marco Scacchi, and the “Magnificat VIII toni” by Johann Stadlmayr. Scacchi was the kapellmeister at the Warsaw court from 1628 to 1649, and Stadlmayr was first kapellmeister at the Salzburg court, and then, appointed directly by Archduke Maximilian III, kapellmeister at the Innsbruck court. Sancta Maria reconstructs the musical production at two of the best court chapels in Europe at the beginning of the 17th century.
