About CALENDA DI NATALE
Mariano Garau's Calenda di Natale is a sacred work for SATB choir, sung in Italian. The music opens with a sense of expectation and reverence, gradually building in intensity. The text, drawn from liturgical sources, recounts the long history of salvation leading up to the Nativity. It begins by tracing the timeline from the creation of the world, through the covenant with Abraham and the Exodus from Egypt, to the prophecies foretelling the coming of the Messiah. The choir is called upon to welcome the Lord Jesus, the bridegroom and King of the Church, highlighting the profound significance of the Christmas event.
