para mí, para mí
no solían ser ansi.

About Estas noches a tán largas
This anonymous work, Estas noches a tan largas, is a secular villancico from Spain. Written for SATB choir, the piece explores the anguish of sleepless nights caused by love. The text contrasts the composer’s past peaceful slumber and contented wakefulness with his present state of unrest. The music reflects this emotional turmoil, with a yearning quality that captures the pain of unrequited or difficult love. The simple yet poignant Spanish lyrics, set to a memorable melody, make this a compelling choice for a choir seeking to perform evocative Renaissance part-music.
