Décima a un glotón

This striking secular partsong by Marcos Castán is written for SATTBB choir and sung in Spanish. Its text is a humorous and vivid portrait of a glutton, depicting their insatiable appetite and impressive digestive capacity. The composer uses the rich texture of the six-part choir to capture the dramatic and often comical imagery of the words, creating a piece that is both musically engaging and thematically entertaining. It would make a memorable addition to a concert programme, offering a moment of light-hearted reflection on a universal human trait. The intricate vocal writing allows for a dynamic and colourful interpretation.
