Description
La Santa Allegrezza' - a tradition of the heart. Letizia Fiorenza and David Sautter have collected songs from Campania and Sicily that celebrate Advent and the Novena - the nine days before the birth of Christ. These songs are striking in their simplicity and the directness of the lyrics and the music, and depict the human side of the Christmas story that is comprehensible to everyone, a dimension that appeals to the heart. We suffer with Mary, fear the shepherds and rejoice with the kings when they finally discover the promised child. The selected classical pieces for guitar in contrast to the drama of the songs a contemplative pause.
