The Coro Polifonico Cremonese set up in 1968, under Mons. Dante Caifa’s direction, (organist and choirmaster at Cremona cathedral), with a view to studying and spreading chiefly Renaissance and baroque sacred polyphony.

Special attention has been given to cremonese composers or to the ones connected with the town of Cremona, such as Marc’Antonio Ingegneri and the famous Claudio Monteverdi.

Forty years with and for music: a happy goal, but also a stimulus for the future, an important stage on the path to a proceeding growth. On the occasion of that important anniversary, the Association wanted to offer to the town of Cremona a Christmas present,( a book), for those who already knew the choir and wished to develop an interest in its activity.

The book “ Il Coro Polifonico Cremonese - Quarant’anni con e per la musica”, going over the choir’s activity again, includes numerous essays and personal recollections, with the association perspective of a philosophical and musical study, linked up with a regular concert activity. Music can be considered the most metaphysical among physical experiences and can create mind and conscience harmony by way of sound.
