“... an ensemble of vocal and instrumental virtuosos modeled after the great European court chapels of the seventeenth century – a troupe of musical explorers and storytellers, offering fresh perspectives on popular and forgotten masterworks.”

This is what it sounded like when Luigi Gatti’s music came to life for the first time in nearly 250 years.

In this glimpse from our first rehearsal, Gatti reaches the words “he shall shatter heads in the land of many.” The music erupts into battle: brass and timpani blaze, the chorus hurls out the text, and the full ensemble answers with startling dramatic force.

This Sunday, Harmonia opens its fifth season with Mozart’s Coronation Mass and the modern and American premieres of Gatti’s Dixit Dominus and Magnificat.

A hat tip to Early Music America—and to the early-music scene gathering force here in Houston.

EMA’s new feature, The Stars Align in Houston, follows Harmonia from long-silent manuscripts and our period organ to Austria, HarmoniaTV, and the musicians and listeners who make the work possible.

The timing could hardly be better. This Sunday, our fifth season opens with Mozart’s Coronation Mass and the modern and American premieres of Luigi Gatti’s Dixit Dominus and Magnificat—music returning to sound after almost 250 years.

In less than a minute: a jolt of dissonance, a cadence that lands with complete satisfaction, a sudden turn toward warmth and lyricism—and then battle music.

Mozart turns every idea in the Magnificat text into drama.

Imagine music preserved for almost 250 years in hundreds of separate handwritten parts—with no complete score from which anyone could perform it.

This summer, Harmonia’s artistic director Mario Aschauer encountered Luigi Gatti’s Dixit Dominus and Magnificat in the Salzburg Cathedral archive. Page by page and voice by voice, he reconstructed the music.

On September 13, Harmonia’s singers and instrumentalists will return it to sound in its modern premiere, heard alongside Mozart’s beloved Coronation Mass.

Join us for one concentrated hour of music on period instruments, followed by a complimentary reception with the artists.

A moment of stillness from Mozart.

In the Benedictus from the Organ Solo Mass, solo voices unfold over a gentle, pastoral pulse. For a moment, the room—and everything outside it—falls away.

On September 13, Harmonia returns to Mozart’s sacred music with the Coronation Mass, performed on period instruments with festive trumpets, horns, and timpani. The program also brings Luigi Gatti’s Dixit Dominus and Magnificat back to life in their modern and American premieres.

Everybody enters at once: singers, strings, organ, trumpets, and timpani.

Mozart’s Dixit Dominus does not work its way toward celebration—it begins there. In Salzburg, trumpets and timpani helped mark the solemn rank of a feast: their presence told listeners that this was no ordinary day.

Hear the complete movement on YouTube—and experience Mozart’s festive Salzburg sound live when Harmonia opens its new season on Sunday, September 13.

Mozart: Dixit Dominus from the Vesperæ solennes de confessore, K. 321

07/25/2026

Harmonia’s journey through Austria found its perfect conclusion at Vienna’s Franciscan Church, where we sang Vespers with the city’s oldest surviving and playable organ.

Built by Johann Wöckherl in 1642, this remarkable instrument includes a reed stop called Khrumphörner. Its characteristically buzzy voice imitates the Krummhorn, a double-reed woodwind instrument heard during the Renaissance.

In this reel, our four singers perform the Gloria Patri from Giovanni Valentini’s In convertendo, with Mario playing the historic Wöckherl organ—a memorable meeting of voices, music, history, and place.

marketplace—sung.

In Priuli’s Alla fiera, vendors call out, compete, and pull you into the bustle of daily life. The madrigal at its most vivid, theatrical, and alive. From rehearsal for this Sunday’s A Madrigal Feast.
