For those around the past several years, we cover one of my favorite pieces on this day — The Easter Hymn from Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana. It’s now officially a tradition!

No matter what we believe in, it’s hard to deny the beauty behind this piece — in its music and meaning.

It is Easter morning in a 19th-century Italian village. Santuzza’s character sings the Easter Hymn in this excerpt, also referred to as both “Regina Coeli” and “Inneggiano”. She is singing to herself as her Sicilian village takes part in Easter festivities.

He all-glorious arose from the dead;
Joys of heaven the Lord to us
