El fraile motilón! by Adrian Cuello — Lyrics
Por encima de aquellos alamos
sale un fraile motilón;
salió tocando dos pitos
un pífano y un tambor.

About El fraile motilón!
El fraile motilón! is a lively SATB setting of a traditional Spanish folk song. The music captures the spirit of the text, which tells a whimsical tale of a friar climbing trees with his instruments, a fife and drum. The composer Adrian Cuello uses the voices to create a vibrant and engaging texture, reflecting the playful narrative. The repeating melodic ideas and rhythmic energy make this secular song a delightful choice for choirs looking to explore Spanish folk traditions with a touch of humor and charm. Its infectious melody and straightforward structure ensure it will be a crowd-pleaser.
