Background<\/b>:\u00a0\u2018Libera Nos\u2019<\/i>\u00a0is believed to be the first ever multi-faith oratorio to be performed in the world. A truly monumental work that took over three years to be researched and finally completed was commissioned by the Musica Sacra organisation in Hastings and is based on the musical traditions and narrations of all major world religions:\u00a0Buddhism<\/b>,\u00a0Hinduism<\/b>,\u00a0Christianity<\/b>,\u00a0Judaism<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Islam<\/b>. Composer Polo Piatti said about the work:\u00a0\u201cThe oratorio\u2019s main objective is to convey a simple message: as long as people remain segregated from each other, the world will continue to be an unjust and unhappy place. Only by looking for common ground and universal similarities can we find understanding and contribute to a better life for all of us on this planet.\u201d.\u00a0<\/i>As in all of Piatti\u2019s works, the music is highly evocative, accessible and melodic. You can watch some video clips of the work\u2019s 2015 soft-premiere online by searching\u00a0Libera Nos Oratorio<\/i>.<\/div>\n
