The present anthology comprises ten anonymous pieces of folk origin and one authentic song originally set for four parts, Riu, riu, chiu, ascribed to composer Mateo Flecha the Elder (1481 - 1553). It comes from Villamcicos de diversos autores, known today as Cancionero de Uppsala, published in Venice in 1556. Its contemporary name is due to the place where the only preserved copy was found. As far as traditional carols are concerned, the most popular ones in Spain are songs from Andalusia and a carol from Catalonia, Fum, fum, fum. The attractiveness and originality of this music is due to its unconventional melodics, varying rhythmics, containing many syncopations and triplets, asymmetric construction of phrases, interestinlgy used progressions and sound-imitating effects.
The present set is the first collection of Spanish Christmas carols offered to Polish choirs. It contains works of low and intermediate difficulty, elaborated for moderately advanced mixed choirs.
