Sally, I love your music so much but in particular this song as it is in my range and I have such a hard time finding songs I can sing as they are mostly too high for my comfort. Do you have any other songs written for low voice?
Thank you so much for blessing the world with your musical genius!❤️

In reply to Theresa Oliver. Sounds like a scenic and fascinating place to live! I don't think Sally has any real connection to Italy other than an appreciation for Italian food, architecture and history. She often posts translations she receives from generous friends on this site although she can't really vouch for the translation itself ("There once was a poet from Venice...".)

In reply to José Davi Barbosa Fragoso. Google translates this as : "Good evening, I am very honored to hear sacred music from the website defordmusic.com. I would like you to post many Christian songs in French and German. Best regards." Thank you, Davi. I, too would love more songs in French and German--especially German. From the FAQ, I understand Sally doesn't translate songs herself or solicit translations from others--but she's happy to post the translations she receives from generous and talented people.

This is so beautiful! And the Italian text will be so helpful to me, as we’ve just moved to Italy and I’m working on my Italian. Perhaps I’ll have an opportunity to share this piece with my new branch here in southern Italy. Your music is such a comfort to me while we’re so far away from our loved ones. What is your connection to Italy, and why did you include this translation?

Lead sheets for your music as well, for those of us who cannot really play “fake it.”

We have been planning to add the flute obbligato for our SATB choir as well. Has this problem been remedied? I’d appreciate knowing how other choirs have handled it? Did you just renumber the measures?

In reply to Anne Bown. Sorry it was a struggle. That one needs some work!

This is a beautiful song and our choir is rehearsing it for Christmas. We are using the flute part also. Unfortunately, there are problems syncing the flute with the SATB version. The obbligato has a repeat for the 2nd verse, but the choir part has none. That makes the measure numbers different. In addition to that, the choir version has the measures numbered, but there is a measure between 22 and 23 that isn’t numbered. So all the measure numbers after 23 are off by one. I wish the flute part had been added at the top of the SATB version like it is for the solo version and the SSA version.

I think we have it figured out now, but it hasn’t been easy.
