Dalla terra is a studio album by Italian singer Mina, released on 6 October 2000 by PDU.
Overview
[edit]This is the only album in Mina's discography that consist entirely of non-secular music. In album Dalla Terra, Anna Mazzini has made one of the few and first Italian arrangements, starting from some liturgical chants of the Christian tradition. For example, she made a version not for choral groups nor organo, of the Veni Creator Spiritus, without the last three stanzas of the original Latin text (regarding the power against the evil, and the knowledge of the Father God and His Son, beginning from the Holy Spirit God).
In 2018, Rolling Stone placed it on the 3rd place in the list of the most underrated albums of Mina.[5]
