The number of choral works by Nino Rota published by Schott is increased by the first edition of 'Custodi nos, Domine'. The quiet work with its beautiful sound for two-part children's or female-voice choir with organ accompaniment (without pedal) is headed 'Semplice, con fervore'. There are no major rhythmic or musical difficulties, an aspect that will certainly be welcomed by small choirs or choirs with only little performance practice. The piece can be used both in church services and for performances in church concerts and sounds great even in small rooms.
