De los ojos de mi morena by Manuel Machado — Lyrics
De los ojos de mi morena
hace flechas al arco el amor
y tiran al pecho y aciertan al alma
y todas se quedan en el corazon.
Faltáronle al niño ciego
flechas con que quitar vidas,

About De los ojos de mi morena
Manuel Machado's De los ojos de mi morena is a delightful secular villancico for treble voices (SAT). The music paints a vivid picture of love's darts, shot from the eyes of the beloved, piercing the heart and soul. Machado masterfully crafts the SAT texture, allowing the voices to weave together in a lively and engaging manner. The text, a charming exploration of Cupid's arrows, is set with both playfulness and a touch of intensity, perfectly capturing the Renaissance spirit of the villancico form. This piece offers a wonderful opportunity for young choirs to explore Spanish text setting and the joys of early part-music.
