For the year 1706, the then Habsburg vice-chapelmaster Marc'Antonio Ziani wrote La Morte vinta sul Calvario, a piece of Good Friday music typical of the Viennese court. Various allegorical figures such as "Faith", "Human Nature" and "The Soul of Adam" enter into a rhetorical dispute with the devil, who rejoices in the death of Christ. The text is of great poetic power, underlined by Ziani's magnificent music, which is very colorful and rich in contrast with obbligato instrumental parts and sometimes refined counterpoint.
