The Small Choir of the Antoniano celebrates the 80th anniversary of Italian Republic with the new song La Repubblica is a great choiravailable from May 29, 2026 on all digital platforms for Sony Music Italy.
The official video clip of the song is also online.
The song is part of a musical and civic education project designed to accompany the anniversary of 2 June 2026, exactly eighty years since the birth of Republic. The initiative was born inAntonianus of Bologna and places children at the center as the main recipients of the message.
A song that becomes an educational project
La Repubblica is a great choir it's not just a song. The Small Choir of the Antoniano has made available free of charge on the website Gold Zecchino the lyrics, the base and the score of the song, so that anyone can learn it and sing it at home, at school or in class.
Added to this is an educational kit that can be requested via email toAntonianus: contains guides and tracks for classroom activities, and transforms the experience of collective singing into a course of civic education on the values of Constitution.
The idea that runs through the entire project is a clear metaphor: the Republic it works like a choir. Every voice counts, but the result is only achieved when voices listen to each other. As he explained Fra' Giampaolo CavalliDirector ofAntonianus:
“Eighty years of the Republic are eighty years of voices that have learned to be together. In the choir you learn, test after test, what is fundamental in a democracy: listening, agreeing, contributing to something that belongs to everyone”.
Who wrote La Repubblica is a great choir
The lyrics of the song are signed by Angela Senatoreauthor ofAntonianus. The music is composed by Lorenzo Tozzimusician and author who has published songs, theme tunes and children's books and is the voice of programs Rai Radio Kids And Rai Play Sound. The arrangement is by Alex Volpi.
The video clip is directed by Riccardo Marino. The song is performed by Small Choir of the Antoniano directed by Margherita Gamberini.
On the meaning of the project, Angela Senatore underlined the chosen approach:
“Children don't need abstract definitions: they need to see that the school bathroom belongs to everyone, that the circle breaks if one lets go of one's hand, that a cake is made of many different slices”.
