Dos poemas de Santa Teresa de Jesús by Marcos Castán — Lyrics
I. Ya toda me entregué y di
y suerte he trocado,
que mi Amado es para mi.
Cuando el dulce cazador
me tiró y dejó herida,
en los brazos del amor
mi alma quedó rendida;
y, cobrando nueva vida,
de tal manera he trocado,
que mi Amado es para mi.
Hirió me de amor,
y mi alma hecha
una con su Criador
Yo ya no quiero otro Amor,
pues a mi Dios me he entregado
y yo soy para mi Amado.
II.
R.:
Alma, buscarte has en Mí
y a Mí buscarme has en ti.

About Dos poemas de Santa Teresa de Jesús
Marcos Castán’s Dos poemas de Santa Teresa de Jesús sets two Spanish texts by the Carmelite nun, mystic, and poet, Teresa of Ávila. The first poem expresses the soul's complete surrender to God, finding new life in divine love and declaring an unbreakable union with 'my Beloved'. The second poem, structured with a refrain, urges the soul to seek God within itself, emphasizing that it was created in God's image and will be found there. This work is for a large, divisi choir, with a demanding eight-part texture: SSSSSSAA and SSSMsMsAA. Castán’s setting is a sacred motet, bringing the profound spiritual poetry of Saint Teresa to vibrant, complex sonic life.
