Buena la han hecho by José de Torres — Lyrics
Estribillo
Buena la han hecho,
el amor, el poder y la sabiduría,
pues al formar un concepto,
que fuese una marabilla,
toda su obra admirable
aparado en una niña.
Miren que perla tan peregrina,
miren que rosa de luz vestida,
que palma fecunda,
que fértil oliva,
y esta es la hermosa,
y esta es la linda,
es la agraciada,
es la divina,
y esta es la niña,
miren que hermosa,
miren que linda.

Es esta la que ideada,
allá en la mente divina,
para concebirse en tiempo,

About Buena la han hecho
This Spanish villancico, with its text praising the concept of a conceived child as a marvel of divine love, power, and wisdom, is set for SSAT voices. The composer José de Torres crafts a musical setting that reflects the exuberant adoration found in the lyrics. The text marvels at this 'precious pearl,' 'rose dressed in light,' and 'divine one,' celebrating her as an invaluable 'purest pearl' found by divine power. The composer's setting effectively conveys the celebratory and devotional spirit of this sacred song, making it a fitting choice for services or concerts focusing on themes of divine creation and reverence.
