Antonio Soler: Los Villancicos



Escolanía de la Abadía de Santa Cruz del Valle de los Caídos
Ensemble Baroque Pygmalion
Jean-Michel Hasler, conductor
15th International Festival of Sacred Music, Sylvanès Abbey, August 1992

Padre Antonio is known more for his brilliant keyboard music, but here he is developing the villancico, originally a troubdour song, into its Baroque form as a Christmas carol for orchestra and chorus. The one characteristic that Soler preserved from the poetical form of the troubadours is its alternation of estribillo and copla, a characteristic that has since permeated Spanish music throughout the world.

The audiocassette is a Mexican release of a French production featuring a children's choir from Roncesvalles, Spain, and an instrumental group from Aveyron, France.
