S. Alfonso dei Liguori: "Tu scendi dalle stelle" Arr. for choir and orchestra by GIUSEPPE DI BIANCO Carolina International Chorale, Sue Klausmeyer, cond. Live recording in Hill Hall, 2008 University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (NC) www.giuseppedibianco.com Score available on https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/ Among all traditional Italian Christmas carols, this simple lullaby may be the best known. The author of the carols, Saint Alfonso Maria de Liguori (1696 - 1787), was a Neapolitan bishop. In December of 1744, Alfonso composed a song that began with the words "Tu scendi dalle stelle" ("You come down from the stars") and consisted of seven strophes of sestine (six verses). The song was published in a collection of spiritual songs the following year under the title of "Canzoncina a Gesù Bambino" ("Little Song to the Child Jesus").
