Armies on high sg Praises unendg: Greet, O greet we now his glorious birth! tr. Anne Ridler Known as The Sicilian Marers Hymn and sung to a purely Marian text begng O sanctissima! O piissima! or its Italian equivalent, this piece has established itself as a kd of honorary Christmas carol English-speakg countries. Its origs are mysterious, and quite possibly unconnected with Sicily (see NOBC notes). A three-part settg from a London magaze of 1792 is earliest known source (NOBC settg I, not cluded here), and song waslaterpublishedbygottfriedvonherder,whoclaimed to have collected it durg a trip to Italy Falk was warden of a Weimar orphanage, and 1819 he wrote a drama for his charges to perform (published 1830). O sanctissima! appears re versions for Christmas (with two additional verses by a colleague) and or feasts. The Christmas text is now firmly established among Lurans.
