Canti di Natale by Carlotta Ferrari — Lyrics
1. Creator alme siderum,
Aeterna lux credentium,
Jesu redemptor omnium,
Intende votis supplicum.
2. Qui daemonis ne fraudibus,
Periret orbis impetu,
Amoris actus languidi,
Mundi medelam factus est.
3. Commune qui mundi nefas,
Ut expiares ad crucem,
E virginis sacrario,
Intacta prodis victima.

About Canti di Natale
Carlotta Ferrari’s Canti di Natale offers a fresh perspective on familiar Christmas themes. This arrangement for SA and TB voices sets a Latin text drawn from the ancient hymn Creator alme siderum. The original text is a prayer to Jesus as the redeemer of the world, a light for believers, and a defender against enemies. Ferrari’s music responds to the profound theological statements of the hymn, creating a sacred work suitable for Christmas services. The contrasting vocal lines of the SA and TB sections, along with the full chorus, offer rich harmonic possibilities for choirs exploring new Christmas repertoire.
