The programme consists of the beautiful and diverse music of the Italian composers Giovanni Bonato (1961) and Giovanni Gabrieli (about 1554 or 1557-1612). “O lilium convallium” and “Signum magnum” by Bonato involve the cello, one of the composer’s favourite instruments.

The works of Giovanni Gabrieli were arranged for the male choir by Aare Kruusimäe.
