“I Love The Idea Of Bringing Music To The Nativity… And I Wanted To Portray An Instrument That’s Traditionally Been Used For That Purpose. My Son Is Immersed In The Preservation Of Indigenous Music In The Regions Of Italy And Sicily, From Where My Grandparents Immigrated. He’s Re-Introduced An Authentic Musical Tradition To Our Family By Learning About And Playing The Zampogna, The Italian Bagpipe (Pronounced Zam-Pone-Ya). The Bagpipe Is An Ancient Pastoral Instrument Played By Shepherds And Farmers For Thousands Of Years, And Is Used In Many Cultures To Celebrate The Nativity. In Present Day Italy, The Zampognaro (Shepherd With Bagpipe) Plays The Novena, The Nine Days Leading Up To Christmas… A Celebration And Announcement Of The Birth Of Christ. The Music Is Festive And Vibrant, Accompanied By Singing And Dancing. It’s A Time Of Reunion And Company – Heralding The Arrival Of The Holidays. It’s The Italian Version Of Carolling – People Gather, Singing Songs Passed From Generation To Generation.

The Zampogna Is A Simple Shepherd’s Instrument With A Rich Richness Of Melody And Rhythm. “I Enjoy The Idea Of Cheerful, Symphonic Music Around The Nativity Scene.” Susan Lordi’s
