This cantata is based on an excerpt from the poem Nadal that forms part of «Tríptic de l’any» by the poet and catalán writer Joan Maragall i Gorina (1860- 1911). This text was chosen to pay homage to the figure of Joan Maragall on the celebration of the centenary of his death on the year of the premiere of the cantata. On the other hand, this poem was written in a time, late 19th century, in which the writer moved between vitalism and the decadent movement. The text of the poem has joyful, spiritual, dramatic and contemplative moments that allow the music to achieve the vital expressiveness sought in the composition of the cantata.
The work is structured in one movement but has three defined blocks. In the first block the introduction, evoking the falling leaves, leads to a festive song which returns to the cold of the Winter through mystical moments. Long nights of December begin the second block that evolves from the winter darkness to light that comes with the arrival of Jesus, that represents a culminating point and which, through a choral fragment in accompanied style, links it up with the last block. Last part retakes the joyful theme of the beginning and evolves into a coda in which joy and happiness express the feeling of Christmas.

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.
