Novena di Natale is a traditional Sicilian Christmas carol that is sung during the nine days leading up to Christmas. The carol is also known as the "Novenario" or "Novenario di Natale" and is a popular part of the Christmas celebrations in Sicily. The Novena di Natale is believed to have originated in the 16th century and has been passed down through generations of Sicilian families. The carol is typically sung in a group, with each member taking turns singing a verse or a line of the song. The Novena di Natale is composed of nine movements, each representing one of the nine days leading up to Christmas. The movements are as follows: 1. La Prima Novena - The First Novena 2. La Seconda Novena - The Second Novena 3. La Terza Novena - The Third Novena 4. La Quarta Novena - The Fourth Novena 5. La Quinta Novena - The Fifth Novena 6. La Sesta Novena - The Sixth Novena 7. La Settima Novena - The Seventh Novena 8. L'Otava Novena - The Eighth Novena 9. La Nona Novena - The Ninth Novena Each movement of the Novena di Natale has its own unique characteristics, but they all share a common theme of celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. The carol is typically sung in a slow and solemn manner, with a focus on the lyrics and the message of the song. The Novena di Natale is typically performed in churches and homes throughout Sicily during the Christmas season. It is a beloved tradition that brings families and communities together to celebrate the joy and wonder of the holiday season.
