Скачать или смотреть New Apostolic Church Southern Africa | Music – "O Rejoice that the Lord has arisen" (official)

It’s hard to deny the beauty behind The Easter Hymn from Pietro Mascagni's opera Cavalleria Rusticana – in its music and meaning. It is Easter morning in a 19th-century Italian village. Santuzza’s character sings the Easter Hymn in this excerpt, also referred to as both “Regina Coeli” and “Inneggiano”. She is singing to herself as her Sicilian village takes part in Easter festivities:

“Inneggiamo, il Signor non è morto” — “We rejoice that our Savior is living!”
We rejoice that our Savior is living!
He all-glorious arose from the dead;
Joys of heaven the Lord to us giving,
All the sorrows of darkness are fled!

In this performance Cape Town Soprano Ernestine Stuurman is accompanied by the New Apostolic Church Choir and Orchestra as part of a public concert, "Easter Favourites", which was held On Sunday the 27th of March 2016 at The Silvertown Auditorium in Athlone, Cape Town.

Composed by Pietro Mascagni from the opera “Cavalleria rusticana”.
