To complement this trip we're using two of Giuseppe Verdi's compositions:
1. Va' Pensiero from the opera Nabucco
2. Overture from I Vespri Siciliani
Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901)
Verdi's first successful opera, Nabucco (Nebuchadnezzar), was written in 1842. It relates the Biblical story of the captivity of the Hebrews in Babylon in the 6th century B.C.
The piece soon became a popular anthem for the Italian people, expressing their own longing for political freedom from Austria, so from a Biblical story, it became an Italian patriotic hymn.
When Verdi's coffin was carried to its final resting place a month after his death in 1901, the crowd of over 25,000 people along the route spontaneously began singing this stirring chorus.
The second selection is the Overture from the Opera I Vespri Siciliani which is an opéra in five acts by Verdi set to a French libretto by Charles Duveyrier and Eugène Scribe. It was written in 1838.
--------------------------------
Għarb is a village located at the westernmost point of the island of Gozo, Malta, with a population of 1,560 people. It started life as a small hamlet centuries ago. You can see its ancient roots in the centre of the village where some houses have fine examples of decorated stone balconies. Għarb was created as a parish in 1679, a move which gave impetus for the building of a new, baroque parish church.
Built between 1699 and 1729, it has an elegant facade which has been compared with Francesco Borromini's Church of Saint Agnes in Piazza Navona, Rome. The village square, so quintessentially Gozitan, has become the view on many a postcard. The parish church is dedicated to the visitation of Saint Mary to her cousin Saint Elizabeth.
On the square is a fascinating folklore museum housing all sorts of memorabilia retelling the Island's rural history.
Għarb lies in some of Gozo's most scenic countryside, particularly at Dbiegi, the highest hill on the Island. Also at Dbiegi is a centre for Gozitan crafts. Within the limits of Għarb is the Chapel of San Dimitri. According to legend, the first chapel was built on the cliff side by a woman whose son was freed from captivity by St. Demetrius.
Nearby is the Basilica ta' Pinu, Malta's pre-eminent shrine to the Virgin Mary. It was on this spot in 1883 that a local woman heard the voice of the Virgin. The late Karmni Grima and Frenc Tal-Gharb are two of its most renowned villagers.

Gharb Gozo - Recording of All Church Bells from this Village.
Subscribe -
For last five years from 2011 when I was started to record the church bells around Gozo. Obviously I made a collection of data the amount of recordings of church bells in Gozo.
From this video I mixed the all recordings of all church bells around Gharb Gozo in one audio clip. Then I combined those clips into one audio to hear all bells ring together. Thanks for editing of sounds I can do this experiment to hear all the bells ringing together. I am always that I am the unique person make this voluntary job.
I hop that the people who live in Gharb Gozo needs to more appreciate for those heritage that for long years ago the forefathers by many sacrifices without today's technology had suffering to build those churches and also how the bells was climbed in the belfry.
The churches which can hear the bells during this audio:
Collegiate Church Our Lady of Visitation - 6 Bells
National Sanctuary, Basilica Assumption of Our Lady (Ta' Pinu) - 4 Bells
Cemetery Church Our Lady of Visitation - 3 Bells
Church St. Publius - 2 Bells
Church St. Demetrius - 1 Bell
