The Loiano Choir started in 1994 from an idea of Mariella Spada, musicologist and Choir conductor until the end of 1999, which was immediately welcomed with enthusiasm by a few people living in Loiano, who shared a common love for music and a desire to sing together.
The Loiano Choir was a mixed vocal group composed of some thirty members. After a 2-year experimental period, when we had a try at the most varied musical genres, from regional songs to pop music, the repertoire was mainly focused on two major sources in the choral music:
- secular and sacred classic poliphony
- spirituals and gospel music
The Choir usually performed "a cappella", i.e. using voices alone and no musical instruments. In a few concerts it also worked together with instrumental groups.
At the starting of 2000, following the resignation of the Choir conductor, the choirsters of the Loiano Choir met another conductor, Massimo Montanari, and their joint work resulted in the ULTRA VOX Choir.
All the choirsters wish to thank Mariella Spada for the job done in all these years!
Here are the main pieces included in Loiano Choir's repertoire:
Additionally the Choir performed a number of liturgical and Marian songs, medioeval lauds and Christmas carols.
