EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing a church choir immersed in their harmonious melodies. The image is an illustration from "Practica Musicae" by Franchino Gaffurio, published in Venice back in 1512. The composition of the photo draws attention to the interior of the church, with its intricately tiled floor serving as a stage for these talented singers. Adorned in elegant robes and hoods, they stand together united by their love for music and devotion to their faith. Each singer holds a score sheet, their eyes fixed on it as they follow along with precision. Their expressions reveal both concentration and passion as they pour their hearts into each note sung. It's evident that this choir has dedicated countless hours perfecting their craft. The woodcut technique used to create this print adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its timeless quality. Every detail is meticulously captured - from the delicate folds of the robes to the subtle variations on each singer's face. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we are transported back centuries ago when music was not only an art form but also an integral part of religious worship. This photograph serves as a reminder of how music can transcend time and connect us deeply with our spiritual selves.
