AUNQUE ES DE NOCHE (Although it is night)
Lyrics taken from the «Dark Night of the Soul» by St John of the Cross
First Price awarded score at the «Concurso Internacional de Composición Coral de Cámara de Pamplona», SPAIN 2010
St. John of the Cross wrote the poem when he was in jail in the Toledo prison (1578). Immerse in the dark and arid night, the torment and the anguish of the dungeon, he contemplates and reflects on that mystery so precious for himself: The mystery of the Holy Trinity. One and multiple at the same time, the image of water (that flows and runs) is the best that comes to his mind in this meditation in which the highest and more abstract perspectives of the faith becomes so close and takes flesh, so to speak, in the touching simplicity of this primary element, element of the life itself.
The Vocal Ensemble is divided in two: a SSAATTBB Choir Ensemble of 8 voices (or more) and a SSATB Soloist Ensemble . Although this division, the whole ensemble works as a unity; consequently the soloists should be stand up mixed with the rest of the voices.
