Latin.

The number of choral works by Nino Rota published by Schott is increased by the first edition of .'Custodi nos, Domine'.
The quiet work with its beautiful sound for two-part children's or female-voice choir with organ accompaniment (without pedal) is headed 'Semplice, con fervore'. There are no major rhythmic or musical difficulties, .an aspect .that will certainly be welcomed by small choirs or choirs with only little performance practice. The piece can be used both in church services and for performances in church concerts and sounds great even in small rooms.

'Sing, sing, sing a song, always sing a song. When you're down and wear a frown, always sing a song' - these are the words with which the famous song-writer Klaus Neuhaus begins a song which he has written together with the arranger Dave Jackson to motivate adults and children to start singing again. The song is available in arrangements for mixed choir, male choir and children's choir and can be performed a cappella or with a rhythmic piano accompaniment.
