Maurizio ForneroAbout
The oratorio would seem to refer to the dancing-girl at Antioch in Syria who was converted to the Christian faith by the bishop of Edessa, after which she led the life of a hermit in a cave on the Mount of Olives. Rather than offering a biography of the girl, the librettist presents Pelagia's inner conflict as she vacillates between enjoying the delights of the world and abandoning them for the good of her soul.
The oratorio results in a score that is more lyrical than dramatic, but very moving and lovely, with long and winding phrases of great length which encourage a calm and singing rendition.
Premiere Recording.
