In addition to his world-famous film scores ('Godfather', 'La dolce vita'), Nino Rota also composed chamber and vocal music, with choral music playing a prominent role. The three choral pieces selected for this edition show Rota's characteristic melody and romantic harmony. Thanks to the low level of difficulty, even amateur choirs are able to sing the impressive pieces of the Italian master. / Choeur A Cappella
