Non Sono In Queste Rive

Buongiorno! This original setting of Torquato Tasso’s 16th century poem serves as a wonderful first step into the world of language for young English speaking choirs. The musical setting is mindful of the syllable stress unique to the Italian language, and the chosen poem uses common, modern Italian words that can be found in any introductory language course.

The vocal lines are intuitive and accessible for the developing singer, and the accompaniment supports the folk style of the piece while not overshadowing the voices. Your singers will love the way the Italian sits in their voice and opens the door to healthy, strong singing.
