UPC: 038081562223. English. Traditional Spanish Carol.
Victor's arrangement of this gentle nativity carol from Spain is sung entirely in the original language (a pronunciation and translation are included). This sensitive treatment captures the lullaby mood and adds a light rhythmic undercurrent in moderate 3/4 time. The tonality shifts seamlessly between D minor and D major to reflect a text that moves from quieting the baby to a rushing fountain and singing birds. While the words do return, no two verses are set in the same manner, creating an ever-evolving arrangement. Piano fingers dance over the keys with triplet turns and easily grasp the bigger chords in the supportive and stylistic accompaniment. A nice contrast on holiday programs.

The milonga is a song-dance developed around 1870 by the cultures co-existing in Buenos Aires at the time. This piece, with a Mary Louise Bringle translation, explores the mystery of God: “I think I know, but barely grasp it . . .†and calls for greater faith. The music is slow, rhythmic, richly harmonic, and mesmerizing.
