Concerto Grosso No. VIII | Arcangelo Corelli (Music to bring peace, calm and tranquillity)

The melodies of Arcangelo Corelli (1653-1713) shine for their concision, lucidity of thought and form, aristocratic touch and dignity of style. This illustrious composer presents in the Concerto Grosso No. VIII his version of the Christmas peace, for he composed it for the celebration of this holy date.

Corelli, composer and violinist, wrote many pieces for violin and orchestra, including the famous 12 Concerti Grossi. In this video, the adagio from Concerto VIII, one of the most beautiful melodies composed for Christmas, is played on the harpsichord.
