Shepherd's Chorus (Contenti n'andremo) - From Laud to the Nativity (Lauda per la Nativita del Singore)

The publication of this madrigal-like chorus marks the first time a separate octavo from Ottorino Respighi's (1879-1936) Laud to the Nativity has been made available. Dance with the shepherds as they go to Bethlehem in this sprightly piece, whose rhythms and harmonies evoke the spirit of the Renaissance. The original Italian text and an English singing text make this a versatile addition to the choral library of churches and schools.
