Music Minute - Jonathan Cilia Faro and Antonio Modica: Miserere Will Leave You Speechless

Renowned tenor Jonathan Cilia Faro and Antonio Modica have joined forces to create an unforgettable video of their duet, "Miserere Will Leave You Speechless." Premiered by Center Stage Magazine, this rendition delves into the profound with poignant lyrics such as "Et peccatum meum contra me est semper" and "Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci," which, when translated into English, convey the powerful sentiments of "And my sin is always against me" and "I have sinned against you alone, and I have done evil before you." The lyrical depth of "Miserere" finds a compelling expression in the collaborative delivery by Faro and Modica. Their rendition stands as a testament to the universal language of music. “Miserere is a song about sin and forgiveness,” shares Jonathan. “St. Augustine says it best, "He who sings, prays twice”. The song is a conversation between a sinner and his confessor. To me, this song is a way to reach heaven without leaving earth.” To view the music video premiere by Center Stage Magazine, visit HERE. Faro has recently collaborated with Academy Award winner Vanessa Campagna on his single, "O Sole Mio / It’s Now Or Never," which is now available. Premiered by M Music & Musicians Magazine, this song unfolds a unique love story that comes to life in a captivating manner. The title, "O Sole Mio," translates to "My Sun" in English, and the lyrics vividly paint the picturesque scenery of Naples, basking in the comforting embrace of sunlight and the love of a woman. Serving as the follow-up to Faro’s "Parla Piu Piano," a tribute to the 50th Anniversary of the iconic love song from The Godfather movie, "O Sole Mio / It’s Now Or Never" is included on Jonathan Cilia Faro’s album Romantico on Stradivari Classics.

“Jonathan (Cilia Faro) and Vanessa (Campagna) are two of my favorite voices. It gives me so much joy to hear them singing together. I know listeners around the world will love this as much as I do.” - Michael W. Smith
