Convidando está la noche by Juan García de Zéspedes — Lyrics
Convidando está la noche
aquí de músicas varias
Al recién nacido infante
canten tiernas alabanzas
¡Ay, que me abraso, ay! divino dueño, ay!
en la hermosura, ay! de tus ojuelos, ¡ay!
¡Ay, cómo llueven, ay! ciento luceros, ay!
rayos de gloria, ay! rayos de fuego, ¡ay!
¡Ay, que la gloria, ay! del portaliño, ay!
ya viste rayos, ay! si arroja hielos, ¡ay!
¡Ay, que su madre, ay! como en su espero, ay!
mira en su lucencia, ay! sus crecimientos, ¡ay!

About Convidando está la noche
This Spanish villancico by Juan García de Zéspedes is perfect for Christmas celebrations. Scored for SSATB choir, it conjures a festive night filled with varied music and tender praises for the infant Jesus. The text evokes a sense of wonder and deep affection, describing the divine beauty of the child and the radiant glory he brings. The music calls for joy and celebration, as suggested by the mention of dancing and the lively 'guaracha' style. This piece offers a vibrant and heartfelt musical offering, suitable for bringing the spirit of the nativity to life through rich choral sound.
