Giuseppe Verdi was quoted to say: "There is no Christmas without Tu scendi dalle stelle'." Its English translation "From starry skies descending" and is known locally in Italy as "Canzone di zampognari" or "Carol of the Bagpipes". This canto di Natale' is truly a native' seasonal pastoral, and was probably a popular Neaploitan folk tune of his time, when St. Alfonso Maria de' Liguori composed his Tu scendi dalle stelle' in 1732. This tune evolved when Pope Pius IX gave it its current Italian text. This traditional Christmas tune is arranged for 4-part SATB ensemble with piano accompaniment. It uses the original Italian text of Pope Piius IX. Performance time: 5:00+-
