Carols & Lullabies by Conrad Susa Tuesday, July 23, 2019
Carols and Lullabies: Christmas in the Southwest by Conrad Susa is an outstanding collection bringing together ten of the most beautiful carols of the Spanish-speaking world, artfully arranged and performable either individually or as a suite. The harp, marimba, and guitar accompaniment lends itself to the Hispanic flavor of the piece. Titles included are: “Oh, mi Belen” (Biscayan); “El Desembre Congelat” (Catalonian); “Alegria” (Puerto Rican); “A la Nanita Nana” (Spanish); “Las Posadas” (Spanish); “Campana sobre Campana” (Andalucian); “En Belen Tocan a Fuego” (Castilian); “El Noi de la Mare” (Catalonian); “Chiquirriquitin” (Andalucian) and “El Rorro” (Mexican).
Newly available as a separate octavo is the “A la Nanita Nana” movement, perfect for programming individually on any holiday performance.
