"Anne Piejus was awarded the 2015 Alfred Verdaguer Prize for Music and Devotion in Rome at the end of the Renaissance, on the proposal of the Academie Francaise. "Saint Philip Neri, founder of the Oratory of Rome, encouraged the use of spiritual laude, a sung poetry in the vernacular inspired by medieval piety and the Florentine Renaissance. In the midst of the Catholic Reformation, in an era of wide diffusion of printed music, Oratorians adapted the repertoire and its uses to their spiritual assemblies, and used musical emotion in their pastoral care based on gentleness, joy and effusion. . The Oratory has thus developed new forms of devotion, carried by this spiritual song and its intimate resonances." (Publisher's website) Epitome Musical Series.
