Living near the ancient town of Ardea, I had the opportunity 10 years ago to become a member of the bass section of the ‘Rutuli Cantores’, a well-regarded choir in the Rome area named after the ‘Temibile Rutuli’ – the Latin tribe from Ardea, which had a fearsome reputation in ancient times.
My musical experience at that time was confined to limited skills on the tin whistle, and an enthusiasm for ‘double chanting’, learned from a ‘teach yourself’ disk sent me by Paul Pena – neither relevant to choral music!
Three recordings by the Rutuli Cantores are included here where I participated in this ensemble: all conducted by Master Constantino Savelloni – a professional musician specialized in choral music.
