Description:
This Italian Christmas carol dates from 1732 and the lilting melody by Alfonso Liguori is associated with the zampogna, a large-format Italian bagpipe. The text is -From Starry Skies Descending, as it is translated from the Italian title -Tu scendi dalle stelle, and the composer's setting uses both Italian and English texts. A tender pastorale with a delicate piano accompaniment, this music manages to be both unusual and yet, somehow familiar. Duration: 3:45
