Misa Criolla and Navidad Nuestra

Symphonic version by Daniel Pacitti
for tenor, soprano (mezzo-soprano), choir and orchestra or instrumental ensemble
Misa Criolla and Navidad Nuestra
by Ariel Ramírez
Symphonic version
by Daniel Pacitti
The performances of the "Misa Criolla" and the "Navidad Nuestra" pay tribute to the Argentine composer Ariel Ramírez and his compositions, which together are considered the most important work of Argentine sacred music far beyond the borders of South America.

In the "Misa Criolla", the folklore of the Andes region is combined with Ramírez's deep religiosity, for the liturgical elements of the mass are sung in the national language - no longer in Latin - and are each given a different regionally typical instrumentalised traditional rhythm of Argentine folk music. Navidad Nuestra" also enters into a similar symbiosis of traditional sacred content and Argentine folkloric music. Not only the melodies and the orchestration, but also the folk-language texts written by Felix Luna place the Christmas story in an Argentinean world.
Ramírez was inspired to compose the "Misa Criolla" during a journey through post-war Germany in the 1950s, particularly impressed by his encounter with two German nuns in Würzburg. His mass was meant to be a thank you to all those people who had supported the young musician during his years in Europe. "I set out to compose a religious work that would express humanity's hope for a better world". In 1967, the "Misa Criolla" had its world premiere in Germany and became further known internationally through a tour of 10 German cities and one performance each in Zurich, in Rotterdam, in Brussels and in Paris. The "Misa Criolla" has been sung and recorded by many of the most famous lyric tenors and the great voices of popular music such as José Carreras, Plácido Domingo, Los Fronterizos, Mercedes Sosa and Chabuca Granda.
The "Misa Criolla" and the "Navidad Nuestra" by Ariel Ramírez were premiered in 2013 in my Symphonic Version in Budapest with over 400 choral singers.
My Symphonic Version of the "Misa Criolla" and the "Navidad Nuestra" has received great recognition and approval from the Ramírez family, who, like the publisher, support its performance and distribution.
