Filia was
written for the
celebrations for St
Cecilia's Day in Rome in
October 1720. It was
originally part of a much
larger mass setting for
the event, which is
considered to be one of
the finest pieces of
music to survive from the
Baroque era. This
movement, intended for
the gradual, is one of
the more popular sections
and is often performed as
a stand-alone piece. It
is scored for 2 Oboes,
Strings, Organ, and
Soprano
solo.
