• 7–Organs in Roman Churches
  Oratorio del Crocifisso, Piazza dell’Oratorio
  Presentation of the organ (1744) by Johann Konrad Wörle/Giovanni Corrado Verlè (1701 Vils – 1777 Rome)

Florian Bassani, Organ (Universität Bern, Institut für Musikwissenschaft)
P. Urban Stillhard OSB, P. Ulrich Kössler OSB (Schola Benedictina, Muri-Gries Abbey, Bozen/South Tyrol)
Hildegard Herrmann-Schneider (RISM Tirol-Südtirol & OFM Austria/Institut für Tiroler Musikforschung)

The organ, built in 1744 by one of the best eighteenth-century organ builders in Rome (who had immigrated from Austria), is in the sacred room in which the oratorio as a music genre began. The Oratorio del Crocifisso is completely decorated with frescos by representative artists from Rome ca. 1580/90 and otherwise rarely open to visitors.

After a short introduction to the instrument and room, the Wörle organ will be sounded live in a short concert with eighteenth-century repertoire from Rome, held by libraries in Rome (Biblioteca dell’Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei e Corsiniana [I-Rli] and Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale [I-Rn]), including works by Girolamo Chiti (director of music at the Basilika S. Giovanni in Laterano from 1726) and anonymous alternatim pieces.
