Celebratory sacred intermediate-level piece for the Christmas season, with gorgeous Spanish text

Os nace un Cordero (Unto You a Lamb is Born)

Commissioned by Chorus Austin for On a Winter’s Eve 2021

Music by Adrienne (ASCAP)

Text by Santa Teresa de Jesús de �vila, España (1515-1582)

SATB chorus, piano, pedal or lever harp

Language: Spanish

Duration 3:30

Commissioned 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 �vila 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 �vila, España 1515-1582

Lines 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.
