Description
This is a quick setting of a popular northern Italian Christmas Carol for any combination of 2 voices. The Christmas tune can also be played by 2 instruments. The Carol is in Italian language.

The text says simply that on Christmas Eve Baby Jesus was quietly asleep on the hay with nothing to keep him warm. The Shepherds have gone to adore him.
