El Dindirindin by Mateo Flecha el Viejo — Lyrics
Ande, pues, muestro apellido,
el tañer con el cantar
concordes en alabar
a Jesús rezién nacido.
Bendito el que ha venido
a librarnos de agonía.
Din din, dirindin, din din,

About El Dindirindin
Mateo Flecha el Viejo's El Dindirindin is a vibrant SATB setting of a Spanish text. This secular villancico, dating from the Renaissance, opens with a joyful, imitative texture that immediately establishes its celebratory mood. The music captures the spirit of the lyrics, which praise the newborn Jesus, expressing delight at his arrival and the salvation he brings. The interplay between the four voices creates a rich and engaging sound, characteristic of the period's secular part-music. Flecha masterfully balances contrapuntal interest with a clear, melodic line, making this a compelling and spirited work.
