Added by magataganm, 08 Dec 2011 "Riu, Riu, Chiu" is a 16th Century Spanish villancico by an anonymous composer. The villancico is attributed by some sources to Mateo Flecha the Elder, who died in 1553. The villancico is verse, set to popular dance rhythms, depicting pastoral Nativity scenes with a country flavor (animals and shepherds). This traditional Spanish Christmas carol in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary is of the type known as a 'villancico', dating from the 16th century. The song is a lesson in Catholic doctrine on the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady as well as the birth of Our Lord who came to redeem the world from the guilt of sin. This arrangement for the Sierra Vista United Methodist Church (SVUMC) is to be sung by a lone male voice, with the main choir singing the chorus. Sheet central : | Ríu Ríu Chíu (4 sheet music) | |
Mike, I think she is talking about the cleffs in the music. Courtney, it may seem like the notes of alto part are higher than the soprano but he is using a tenor clef, printed as a treble clef with a subscript "8", for the alto part since the true tenor clef has generally fallen into disuse in vocal writings, this "octave-dropped" treble clef is often called the tenor clef. |
You do realize that the Soprano is the high female voice and the alto is the low female voice? |
