About Santo Subito!
“Santo Subito” (Sainthood Now) is not just a slogan that some young Romans happened to come up with that afternoon of April 8th 2005. It is a popular slogan that dates back to the first centuries of the Church’s history: it came into being along with a similar cry which was “Vox Populi, vox Dei” meaning: “The voice of the people is the voice of God”. During the persecution of the Early Christians, all martyrs to the faith were proclaimed “Santo Subito”.
The DVD
The first music DVD to embody the voice and the images of John Paul II. This 60 minute film - or series of clips (most very modern and radical, graphically and artistically) in which John Paul II’s speeches and in 2 instances him singing, have been set to music, most of it orchestral and incorporating original gregorian recordings, though some is electronic (Trip Hop) or contemporary acoustic guitar.
Simon Boswell on Santo Subito!
As John Paul II is about to enter the conclave in 1978, I begin with a very simple arrangement for piano and strings of ‘Christus Vincit’.
