Celebratory sacred intermediate-level piece for the Christmas season, with gorgeous Spanish textOs nace un Cordero (Unto You a Lamb is Born)Commissioned by Chorus Austin for On a Winter’s Eve 2021Music by Adrienne (ASCAP)Text by Santa Teresa de Jesús de Ávila, España (1515-1582)SATB chorus, piano, pedal or lever harpLanguage: SpanishDuration 3:30Commissioned by Chorus Austin, Os nace un Cordero (Unto You a Lamb Is Born) sets excerpts from the Spanish poem "Pastores que veláis" by Santa Teresa de Jesús de Ávila for SATB mixed chorus, piano, and harp. As angels announce the birth of Jesus to the shepherds, Teresa foreshadows Jesus’ crucifixion by referring to him as Cordero (Lamb). She also affirms Jesus as the fully human (hombre también junto) and fully divine son of the sovereign God (Hijo de Dios Soberano). The piece opens with angels approaching from a distance singing "pastores" (shepherds) followed by joyful choral couplets. Several dualities weave together representing the oneness of the human and divine: harp and piano; Venezuelan joropo rhythm derived from Spanish dance; sixteenth century text and twenty-first century music; and major and Phrygian modes. Spanning cultures, oceans, and centuries, this music exuberantly announces the celebrated birth of Christ.Santa Teresa de Jesús de Ávila, España 1515-1582Lines 1-4, 17-20 from "Pastores que veláis" ¡Ah, pastores que veláis,por guardar vuestro rebaño,mirad que os nace un Cordero,Hijo de Dios Soberano! –¡Oh, que es hombre también junto!La vida estará en su mano;mirad, que es este el Cordero,Hijo de Dios Soberano. Translation by Adrienne Inglis and Jennifer Inglis Hudson Ah, shepherds who watch, for keeping your flock, see that a Lamb is born to you, Son of Sovereign God!  "Oh, he's fully a man as well!"In his hand is the life of every creature; look, this is the Lamb, Son of Sovereign God.https://youtu.be/u8gTnpn3VuE?t=5485 This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
