"Resta con noi, Signore, la sera" is a sacred choral composition by Domenico Machetta, an Italian composer and conductor. The piece was composed in the 20th century, but the exact date of its composition is unknown. It is believed to have been composed in the mid-20th century. The piece is written for a four-part choir, with the text taken from the Gospel of Luke, chapter 24, verses 29-32. The piece is in the key of G major and is written in a homophonic style, with all four parts singing the same text at the same time. The piece is divided into two movements. The first movement is slow and contemplative, with the choir singing the text "Resta con noi, Signore, la sera" (Stay with us, Lord, in the evening) in a gentle and prayerful manner. The second movement is faster and more joyful, with the choir singing "Alleluia" in a celebratory manner. The piece is characterized by its simple and straightforward melody, which is easy to sing and easy to remember. The harmonies are also simple and straightforward, with the four parts moving together in a smooth and flowing manner. The piece is not particularly complex or challenging, but it is effective in its simplicity and beauty. "Resta con noi, Signore, la sera" has been performed and recorded by many choirs around the world, and it remains a popular piece in the sacred choral repertoire. Its message of prayerful contemplation and joyful celebration is timeless and universal, and it continues to inspire and uplift listeners today.
