Arranged by Victor C Johnson. Performance Music Ensemble; Single Titles. Alfred Choral Designs. Carol Arrangement; Christmas; Multicultural; Sacred; Traditional; World. Choral Octavo. 12 pages. Alfred Music #00-48898. Published by Alfred Music (AP.48898).

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.
