Fes-te el pessebre is a Christmas Cantata conceived to be sung by a children’s choir, adult choir and an instrumental ensemble consisting of Orff instruments, recoders, two flutes, clarinet and piano. There is a musical motif that goes through the entire cantata with small rhythmic modifications that gives it thematic unity. 

The first issue introduces, as an overture, most of the songs that will be played during the cantata. The second has a strophic structure that is introduced by the children and answered by the adult choir to 4 voices. All together they conclude the number with a rhythmic variant in 6/8 of the initial motive that is seconded by the totality of the instruments. The third is a simulation of a sheperd’s walk. The pace is light, but very regular and stable. (In the version for piano this number is not made, because with piano loses much of its charm). The fourth is the most festive of all and is interpreted only by children and a small group of instruments. The fifth, most reflective of all, alternates a solo clarinet with the adult choir a cappella. 

The sixth closes the cantata with a more elaborate texture than the rest of numbers. He introduces gradually the first notes of El cant dels ocells and later the Veni veni Emmanuel. It ends with the main motive accompanied by a descending scale that is falling imitatively as a symbol of the coming of the Savior.

The Cantata de Nadal Collection 

The Cantata de Nadal [Christmas Cantata] Project is based on the premiere of a cantata for children’s choir, mixed choir and chamber orchestra, composed by a contemporary composer based on texts of Catalan poets. This formula, which requires the integration of three different musical formations, brings together three differing values: the musical creativity, the intergenerational participation and the updating and modernization of our Christmas tradition. 

In the various previous editions we have been privileged to collaborate with the actresses Carme Sansa, Marta Angelat and Mercè Arànega, who recited texts and poems to highlight the spoken Word combined with music in order to give the cantata a greater theatrical dimension. 

For the children’s and youth choirs, the Christmas Cantata provides an opportunity to sing together with a mixed choir and an orchestra a choral symphony composition. This experience gives them an artistic challenge of working with a degree of difficulty and complexity greater than what they are used to, within an intergenerational framework. 

We are convinced that the experience of interpreting this work will lead them to enjoy communicating emotions to the audience and at the same time will contribute to improve the quality of their choral family or choral school.
