One of the best compositions by one of 20th century Italy’s best-known composers, the Laud to the Nativity stands out because of its unique pastoral instrumentation, the unusual blending of archaic and early twentieth century styles, the expressive setting of the unusual text, and the creative interweaving of dramatic and lyrical elements. A rewarding challenge to conductors and performers, the work proves to be a pleasure to learn and perform. This Monograph seeks to assist musicians who are preparing the Laud for performance by providing them with relevant historical, analytical, and practical information about the work and its composer. 82 pages.
