Adoren los hombres by Francisco Valls — Lyrics
Adoren los hombres finezas de amor que amante y desnudo en dura prisión.
Llora como niño, y ama como dios.
Y en dulce congoja, en triste dolor,
en noble suspiro, y en tierno fervor.
Adoren finos excesos del que humano descendió
a elevar la criatura en las alas del amor.
Y en dulce congoja, en triste dolor,
en noble suspiro, en ansias constantes y en tierno fervor.
Llora como niño, y ama como dios.

About Adoren los hombres
Francisco Valls’ Adoren los hombres is a sacred Spanish villancico for two sopranos (SST). The music opens with a gentle, flowing melody, soon joined by the second soprano voice in a delicate interplay. The text, which speaks of the profound love of God descending to humanity and embracing suffering, is set with tender devotion. The composer captures the devotional sentiment through expressive melodic lines and a transparent texture, evoking the profound paradoxes of divine love: weeping as a child yet loving as God, descending in chains yet lifting creation. The piece builds in emotional intensity, reflecting the deep feelings expressed in the lyrical content.
