Description
This traditional rhythmic Christmas Carol in Spanish language is originally from Puerto Rico; it is set here for SATB chorus and optional percussion instruments and pianoforte. There are three verses set plus a Refrain. Soprano, Alto and Tenor parts are sometimes subdivised.

The pdf includes 3 sections: Full score, Vocal score and Percussion score that can be printed out for the performers.

This is the first verse:

A la media noche
al rigor del hielo
Nace Jesu Cristo
Redentor del cielo.
A la media noche
gallo cantaba
su voz decia
Cristo ha nacido.
