At the turn of the last century, DON LORENZO PEROSI (1872-1956) was one of the most famous personalities in all of Italy. He was unquestionably one of the most important composers of sacred music of all time. He was simultaneously Director of the two most important choirs in Italy, that of the Sistine Chapel in Rome and the San Marco in Venice. To coincide with the 50th anniversary of the great composer's death, Leonardo Ciampa has written DON LORENZO PEROSI, the very first biography of the composer ever to appear in the English language. The culmination of intense and passion-filled research, DON LORENZO PEROSI is a turning point in the Perosi canon and promises to garner national and international attention.
