Company's Winter 2009-10 issue featured the story Trionfo, written by Georgetown University musicologist Anthony R. DelDonna on his discovery of a long-lost oratorio by Neapolitan composer Nicolà Ceva, a musician associated with the Jesuit institutions of the city.
Georgetown University students and a chamber ensemble of local professionals performed Trionfo per l’Assunzione della Santissima Vergine ("Triumph of the Assumption of the Most Blessed Virgin”) in Italian (with English translations provided) for the first time since 1705 in December 2009.
Composed for the Collegio dei Nobili, the principal Jesuit school in Naples, Ceva’s Trionfo celebrates the Feast of the Assumption.
