Cando a luíña aparece by Angel Viro — Lyrics
1. Cando a luíña aparece
i o sol nos mares se esconde
todo é silencio nos campos
todo na ribeira dorme.
2. Quedan as veigas sin xente
sin ovelliñas os montes
as fontes sin rosas vivas
os árbores sin cantores.
3. Medroso o vento que pasa
os pinos xigantes move
i á voz que levanta triste
outra mais triste responde.
4. Son as campanas que tocan
que tocan en sons de morte
i ó corazón din: N'olvides
ós que para sempre dormen.

About Cando a luíña aparece
Angel Viro's Cando a luíña aparece is a setting of a Galician poem that speaks of the melancholic beauty of twilight. The text describes a world falling silent as the sun sets, leaving fields and mountains empty. The imagery extends to the wind and the distant sound of bells tolling, evoking a sense of sadness and remembrance for those who are gone. The music for this SATB choir captures the poignant atmosphere of the lyrics, reflecting the gentle fading of light and the quiet introspection that accompanies the end of the day. It is a secular work that masterfully conveys the poem's gentle sorrow and introspective mood.
