Tanti auguri from Italy! Italian Christmas and holiday music is here to add life to your Advent with musical styles including famous instrumentals and traditional carols, with lots of variety in between. There is something for everyone. Though you have to go without struffoli or panforte, you surely won't feel deprived of the Spiritu di Natale.
During the thirteenth century, among the early Franciscans, Saint Francis of Assisi introduced the Christmas carol, which soon spread all over Europe. He had a particular devotion and affection for the mysteries of the holy childhood of Jesus. Medieval Italian music, including tracks like Nova Stella, are unique in the way they are chanted.
Mille Cherubini in Coro ("A Thousand-Cherub Chorus") and La Canzone di Zampagnone ("Carol of the Bagpipers") are a couple of popular Italian carols. For diversion, try the filastrocche calabresi sul Natale, Calabrian dialect Christmas songs.
In a country where there are living presepi or crèches, in which actors and animals recreate the Nativity scene, the spirit of Christmas comes truly alive with the songs and music that assist the festivities.
