Aladas jerarquías by Tomás de Torrejón y Velasco — Lyrics
Aladas jerarquías, a quién toca hoy dejar
por campos de esmeraldas, palacios de cristal
volad, corred, venid,
que sube ya inmortal el que venció la muerte, muriendo por amar.
1. Volad, corred, venid,
pues vuestra dicha estal que merecéis ser
trono a tanta majestad.
2. Volad, corred, venid,

About Aladas jerarquías
This vibrant Spanish sacred villancico, Aladas jerarquías, was composed by Tomás de Torrejón y Velasco. Written for SAT.SATB choir, it calls upon winged hierarchies to hasten and celebrate the immortal one who conquered death through love. The text urges angelic beings to fly, run, and arrive, bringing palm branches and roses to pave the way for this triumphant figure. The music likely reflects the joyful and exultant nature of the text, suitable for a festive occasion within the sacred repertoire. Torrejón y Velasco, a significant composer of the Spanish Baroque, offers a rich setting of this devotional text, perfect for choirs looking to explore the sacred music of this era.
