Atended reverentes by José de Torres — Lyrics
Estribillo (refrain)
Tutti
Escuchad los aplausos,
atended reverentes, escuchad,
que a la gloria del templo,
las esferas se vienen atended,
ay que en voces sonoras,
dulces ecos vierten,
escuchad, atended.
Solo
Los aplausos heroicos,
los obsequios solemnes,
los festejos devotos,
y los cultos alegres.
Tutti
Con que aliento gozan,
selvas prados fuentes,
al mirar que se ensalza,
en el ara luciente,
quien su espacio ilumina,
y por quien resplandece,
vengan cuantos buscan,

About Atended reverentes
This sacred villancico by José de Torres opens with a vibrant interplay between the SSAT and SATB choirs, creating a rich textural landscape. The Spanish text calls for attentive reverence, describing joyous celebrations and solemn offerings. It speaks of a divine presence illuminating the sacred space, promising abundant grace and eternal rewards for those who seek them. The music effectively conveys the celebratory and devotional spirit of the text, making it a powerful choice for a liturgical setting or concert performance. The alternating sections for solo voices and the full choir build to moments of great musical and emotional impact, reflecting the exuberance of the occasion described.
