Corelli was an Italian violinist, as well as a composer of Baroque music.  This piece is also commonly known as the Christmas Concerto, and it was composed around 1690.  The concerto is part of a larger work of twelve concertos that were commissioned by Cardinal Pietro Ottobini, and published after Corelli had died.  There are three short movements, beginning with the Vivace, followed by a Grave and an Allegro.
