Messa della Domenica by Girolamo Frescobaldi is part of "Fiori Musicali", a collection of liturgical pieces for organ published in 1635, and containing three masses and two capricci.

The mass contains a series of pieces to be performed in the various moments of the liturgy. In particular:

- “Toccata avanti la Messa" is an introductory miniature
- The 12 verses of Kyrie and Christ are set on Gregorian melodies of Mass XI (Kyrie orbit factor)
- “Canzona dopo l’Epistola” and “Canzona post il Comune” have free elements and they are in variation form
- “Recercar dopo il Credo” is also in variation form, and the theme is accompanied by many counterpoints in various sections
- “Toccata cromaticha per l’Elevatione” is a long piece known for its passionate mysticism.

The video was shot in Tarquinia, Lazio (IT), one of the oldest and most important settlements of the Etruscan dodecapolis.

The 1857 Morettini organ of the Valverde church in Tarquinia, was originally installed in the church of San Marco in Tarquinia, which for over four centuries housed Filippo Lippi's Madonna di Corneto (1437), which today stands in the Barberini Gallery in Rome.

in 1908 it was transferred to the church of Valverde together with the painting "Madonna di Corneto" by Lippi. the organ was used for over 30 years by Maestro Augusto Piccioni but after his death it was gradually abandoned.

in 1985 the church was closed due to structural instability until the year 2000, where it reopened thanks to the restructuring funds of the great Jubilee. the organ, however, was severely damaged and the stairs leading up to the choir had collapsed.

thanks to the will of the organist M ° Luca Purchiaroni, and to the impulse of the devotees of the Madonna di Valverde, the religious and civil institutions, the organ was completely restored by the Fontana company, and thus a precious cultural asset was recovered, intertwined with the history of Tarquinia.
