Comments

"This is a setting of a well-known traditional Christmas song, El cant dels ocells, immortalized as a resistance song by the cellist, Pablo Casals. The lyricism of this setting, both harmonically and contrapuntally, is quite remarkable and does not detract in any way from the numerous other settings of this song."

Francesc Bonastre, 1992.
