Jaunava skaistā by Stefan Surzynski — Lyrics
1.
Jaunava skaistā dzemdināja Jēzu, autiņos tītu apsedza ar sienu.
Ak, siens, uz kura kā uz lilijzieda Marija gulda maigo Bērnu Jēzu.
2.
Vai, mīļā Jaunav', tev nav žēlsirdības, ka Dieva Dēlu ievistīji sienā?
Ak, siens, tu esi kā visdārgāks ziediņš: uz sevis guldi nabadzīgo Dievu.

About Jaunava skaistā
Stefan Surzynski's setting of Jaunava skaistā is a sacred Christmas carol for SATB choir. The Latvian text offers a tender contemplation of the Nativity, focusing on Mary's care for the infant Jesus laid in a manger. The lyrics express awe and wonder at the humble circumstances of Christ's birth, comparing the humble hay to a precious flower upon which the divine child rests. The composer's music likely reflects the devotional and contemplative nature of the text, suitable for the Christmas season. This piece invites reflection on divine love and the profound significance of the Incarnation, even in the simplest of settings. The choir will find opportunities to explore rich harmonies and expressive vocal colours.
