El Desembre congelat — Lyrics
El desembre, congelat, confús es retira.
Abril, de flors coronat, tot el món admira.
Quan en un jardí d'amor neix una divina flor
D'una rosa bella fecunda i poncella.
El primer pare causà la nit tenebrosa
Que a tot el món ofuscà la vista penosa;

About El Desembre congelat
This is a traditional Catalan Christmas carol, here arranged for SATB choir. The text contrasts the cold of December with the beauty of spring, ultimately focusing on the birth of Christ as a divine flower bringing light and sweetness to the world. It speaks of a 'divine flower' blooming in a garden of love, and of the sun rising at midnight, dispelling darkness. The arrangement captures the gentle, hopeful spirit of the lyrics, offering a reflective and serene setting of this well-loved text.
