AFTER YOU READ AND LISTEN
Of the Christmas tale there is only the memory of " cold and
frost
". It is the metaphor of the hard and pitiless world where
we live with the shepherds . In this daily trial , the shepherds hear the
voice of the " divine love " and the "angel " These voices
announce the "redemption" of the world. The shepherds answer in a
chorus of praise.
The birth of Jesus is suggested but it is rather about the
cosmic effect of his incarnation. He saves the world from the work of
demons and evil (The redemption) .We are here in a tragic
climate.Man is a toy of dark forces of evil. The choir of the
devil dominated by the choir of angels it is a most unusual musical
prowess.
At last man will be saved and
liberated by the fragile voice of "divine love" when he believes and
hopes .John the baptist will be the first witness and martyr who will "preach" the good news to the world.
Christmas : The preacher John the Baptist is inseparable of Jesus ( Luc 1 )
Luigi Prividali, author of the libretto , offers us a nice musical and
poetic fresco in the musical codes and values of his time.
Meanwhile he often gives us true "pearls" : a coherence between
music and the truth It is possible that this verse is a magical instant of this kind
"Chi al mondo oggi m'invia
Chi predicar m'invita
...è spirito di vita
fonte di verità"
