Regina coeli (from 'Cavalleria Rusticana') - P. Mascagni

Soprano, choir and concert band.

Ultimately Cavalleria Rusticana became Mascagni's most successful opera. It is still a great repertoire favorite, almost always double-billed with Ruggiero Leoncavallo's Pagliacci.The famous 1st act chorus Regina cœli is sung on the morning of Easter day.
