Par JOHNSON TIMOTHY. L’origine du cantique Adeste Fideles [Adeste Fidelis] reste un mystère. On mentionne divers noms de poètes. D’aucuns soutiennent qu’il s’agit d’un noël ancien inspiré d’une danse autour de la crèche. On pense également que Saint François d’Assise s’en serait servi pour sa crèche vivante. D’autres attribuent son origine à Saint Bonaventure. Quoiqu’il en soit, il est communément reconnu que les strophes ont été écrites ou découvertes par l’Anglais John Francis Wade. Adeste Fidelis (Ô peuple fidèle) est un des plus célèbres cantiques de Noël. / Niveau : 4 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

This volume describes the social cultural and economic circumstances surrounding mariachi music in the United States.
