Pastors a Betlem [Shepherds in Bethlehem] is a Christmas cantata for mixed choir, children's choir and small orchestra with music by me. 

The text was written by the great catalán poet Verdaguer (1845-1902) and comes from the first part of his long poem «Jesús infant». The verses set to music correspond to the section entitled «Pastors i reis» and comes from the book Verdaguer: Totes les obres, Vol. II (Edicions Proa 2003). 

The argument begins with the Advent and ends with the Adoration of the Shepherds. The work is divided into seven thematic sections, with continuity of the music, without separations. The interpretation lasts 15 minutes.

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.
