Gesu Bambino - High Voice

High Voice

By Pietro A. Yon

Loved the accompaniment. I changed some of the words back to the original. I would definitely recommend it. I sang it as a church solo the first Sunday of Dec. It was an excellent song to start out the season.

Excellent service. Right product.Was a blessing at Christmas church services - used it twice!

Gesu Bambino ['When blossoms flower'd mid the snow', the text is in English] is a Christmas Classic in Catholic churches and the refrain echoes the chorus of Adeste Fideles. Pietro You, the composer, was the organist at St. Patrick's Cathedral in N.Y. in the '30's. This...

version also works with any C solo instrument [e.g. oboe] playing the voice part in a melodic duet with the organ. This edition includes a removable page for the ad libitum violinist to play from, but the words aren't included, so 2 copies are needed if a vocalist is going to sing it.

I first heard this music on a CD given to me by a friend. It was so beautiful I wanted to sing it. I had the opportunity last week to sing at a friend's church (amid rave reviews I might add). I personally don't read music but the...

notes were still easy to follow - I was amazed. The piece sounds complicated when heard but its amazing how easy it is to follow the notes. Of course this is from the point of view of the singer. I don't play any instrument but the piano accompanist seemed not to have a problem. It was her first time too.

This is a complete and comprehensive copy of the music including violin or cello obligato. It is usable by the most professional of voices.
