De la Virgen

This devotional villancico for SATB voices rejoices in the birth of Christ and the Virgin Mary's role as mother to God. The Spanish text expresses wonder and praise for the divine gift of redemption. Antonio de Cabezón, a leading Spanish composer of the Renaissance, here crafts a sacred work that would have been sung in services or domestic devotions. The music, presented here on the staff, brings to life the text's profound theological message with fervent devotion.
