Como aunque culpa

Manuel de Zumaya's Como aunque culpa is a sacred work for solo voice. The Spanish text draws inspiration from the theological concept of "O felix culpa" (O happy fault), which reflects on how humanity's original sin paradoxically led to the redemption through Christ. The lyrics express the idea that even inanimate objects and animals sensed the consequences of Adam's error, and now rejoice in the promised restoration. The music sets this text with a desire to convey the profound joy and wonder associated with the Incarnation and the divine love that compels such sacrifice.
