I am SO grateful this piece was in a reading packet! It's beautiful and unique and I cannot wait to do it with my middle school choir. They will LOVE this! Thank you Ivo!
Mary Brandenstein It's my pleasure, Mary. Enjoy LA MIA STELLA :-)
I love it too its amazing right teacher
Im doing this as well for choral festival im bottom part with boys
It’s been almost a decade since I sang this piece, but it popped up in my CZcams feed today. I’m happy it did. The backstory for the lyrics makes me tear up, and the fact that there are still so many suffering in the exact same way keeps the song relevant.
This is genuinely one of my favorite choral pieces, and I’m grateful to hear it once again ❤
I'm learning this song in choir right now and... I've gotta say, this song has me holding back tears, and that's something a song has never done before. Bravo, Mr. Antognini. I'm so excited to be learning and performing this beautiful piece.
Sung this in my high school choir one year and I am still thinking about it 7-8 years later
I remember singing this two years ago... THE MEMORIES-
My choir sang this last year, and I can say it’s my favorite song I’ve sang in choir
I happened to miss this song, as it was sung the year before I was accepted into my choir, but it’s always been my favorite!!
I’m learning this in choir this is such a beautiful piece. I’m doing bottom part and I love it so much.
Bellissimo brano e molto toccante.....lo farò al più presto con il mio coro di bambini!
Caro Ivo, con la tua musica e la tua anima poetica inzio l'anno volando....GRAZIE!!!!!
I'm doing this song in choir! (= I'm so excited, a great piece it is.
thank you so much!! My select choir at my school is doing this song!!! I love Italian pieces like this!!!!!!!!!
Me encanta!!! Wonderful!!!

This touches me at a level where there are no words.
Your music appeases me with life.
Thank you maestro and everyone making this.
Forgive me my audacity maestro Ivo.
The poetry seems inspired by the refugees drama currently happening, and it is on much more.
...meaning, the poem doesn't only poses questions but gives an answer.
You are right, it is! This is, in a few words, the "story" of LA MIA STELLA:
The sun is shining on a beautiful morning, while I peacefully read the newspaper. A photograph catches my eye of a boat with three hundred Africans on board. I read the caption: unfortunately, many of them will not arrive alive on the shores of Lampedusa, in the Mediterranean Sea. I stare attentively at the picture, and among the many distraught faces one stands out above the rest, a child with wide eyes, hands holding tight on the arms of an adult. I am moved, and I feel a duty to do something for this poor creature.
La mia stella is dedicated to him and to all those that are forced to flee from their homeland in hopes of finding, after long and frightening journeys, a better life.
Can only hope your art will reach out to more people than just me, and make for a better fate for everybody suffering this disaster.
I am grateful for this wonderful piece, it hurts me and it consoles by its beauty too.
Ivo, I have apparently missed this post and I'm just now hearing this work. It is another beautiful work and so beautifully performed. Your text is stunning. I thank God that you and your music are in my life.
You made my day, Rick. Thank you for your friendship :-)

Hello Ivo, I am a music international student in a Canadian university. Last year, the choir in our school practiced this piece, I felt so beautiful and touching. Although I don't understand Itaian. Then I knew the background of this song, it is a sad story. I had a inspiration, and then I wrote the Japanese version of the song's lyric. March 11 is the day of memorising the "East Japan Earthquake" (also called touhoku earthquake). It is about 9.0 level, and caused tsunami. Many people lost their life, it is very sad, even one my friend. So may I send other the Japanese version of the lyric which I wrote, on the Internet?
Very beautiful piece, I like it.
Hello Sylvia, please share the Japanese translation of the lyrics. Of course I am aware of the terrible tsunami that struck Japan :-(( Blessings, Ivo
+Ivo Antognini Ok, I will share it. And I contact with my teacher in choir, maybe she will also like it.
Hi, Mr Ivo.. my name Radit from Indonesia. Do you have SATB for this song? This song make me stay calm. Best regrad.. Radit.
Hi, Radit. Unfortunately there is no SATB version. It's not in my planes to do this, sorry.
@@emiolian thx Mr Ivo.. no problm.. GBU
what is the language of "nyota yangu"?
It's Swahili, it means "my star", in Italian "la mia stella".
Canzone molto toccante
Ma per acquistare lo spartito bisogna per forza ordinarlo dall'America? Non c'è un sito italiano ?
In Europa c'è questo
www.musicshopeurope.it/it-it/product/amp0974/la-mia-stella.aspx
però secondo me fa prima a chiedere direttamente all'editore:

Cari saluti
Perfetto grazie! Non vedo l'ora di suonarlo e di insegnarlo ai miei bambini.....mai come in questo periodo ......
I don't feel comfortable singing this in my choir if it's about death and suicide it just not right we are all in middle school but I don't want to sing it know 😠
Oh no, Lill, you’re not right :-((
First of all the song is not at all about suicide! It’s about the big drama of the refugees that every day have to flee from their homeland. But the little boy that is described in this story, although his
parents lost their lives - not by committing suicide! - during the terrible travel on boat, finds a new life, a new place where he can turn the sad page and start again. This is the meaning of the piece. „La mia stella“ means „My star“ (Nyota Yangu in the boy’s lauguage: I imagined him come from Africa) and this little star up in the sky leads him in the right direction. It’s a sad, tragic story, this is for sure, but it has a happy ending. I hope you understood and hope you will sing a little bit more gladly :-)
