Sliem Għalik Marija

James Chappell directs his arrangement of this medley of popular Marian hymns, all from the pen of the national poet of Malta Dun Karm Psaila. Our Mother Mary held a special place in the heart and pen of Dun Karm. He wrote a number of popular religious poems and hymns to Our Lady under different titles and in this collection, Mro. Chappell includes four of the most popular: the Ave Maria of Lourdes, the Ave Maria of Fatima, Ismagħha l-Għanja (Listen to the Song) and Fil-ħelwwa ta’ Mejju (In the sweetness of May). When he made the musical arrangements for this collection of popular Marian hymns, Maestro James Chappell gave it the name Sliem Għalik Marija (Hail to You, Mary).
Performed by the soloists Lea Bonnici and Katrina Tanti, together with the Regina Cœli Parish Choir and orchestra.
