Gure sekretuak by Iñaki Kareaga — Lyrics
About Gure sekretuak
The composer Iñaki Kareaga creates a gentle, imitative texture in this children's song, the voices weaving in and out of each other in canon. Sung in Basque, the text speaks of letters sent to the sky which turn into clouds, only to be read by the moon. The simplicity of the form and the charming imagery make this an ideal piece for young singers, allowing them to explore the joys of singing together and experiencing the subtle beauty of contrapuntal writing. Its character is playful and imaginative, perfectly suited to the youthful voices it is intended for.
