Cantad llorando este día by Filipe da Madre de Deus — Lyrics
Cantad llorando este día,
que se ausenta nuestro bien,
y al verle volar al cielo,
el llanto fue de placer.
Sentir su ausencia el amor,
bien debe mas ha de ser,
con regocijos aplaudan
de su victoria el laurel,
Por eso de admiraciones,
el cielo se llena al ver,
que triunfante de la muerte
sube coronado rey.

About Cantad llorando este día
Filipe da Madre de Deus' Cantad llorando este día is a sacred villancico for SSAT voices. The music opens with a poignant reflection on sorrow and joy, as the text describes the ascent of Christ into heaven. The composer captures the duality of weeping for absence and rejoicing in victory. The polyphony unfolds with delicate interplay between the voices, mirroring the text's exploration of love's complex emotions – grief at separation, yet celebration of triumph over death and the opening of heaven's gates to humanity. The piece concludes with a tender acknowledgment of divine grace, a testament to faithful love and newfound tenderness.
