Program Notes

This musical setting draws on the beautiful melody of the traditional Catalan carol to sculpt a touching concert work. The lyric carol displays the stylish influences of that country, evident in the flowing lines of the melody. This arrangement is not a direct transcription of the song but rather a carefully scored rendition that supports and enhances the original, allowing the simple beauty of the melody to be placed on full display.
