Composed by Cesar Alejandro Carrillo. 20th Century,A Cappella,Christmas. Octavo. 8 pages. Cesar Alejandro Carrillo #3860071. Published by Cesar Alejandro Carrillo (A0.881122).In Venezuela, the word aguinaldo has two meanings. It is synonymous with a gift that is given at Christmas, but also refers to a very popular musical genre in our own country of the Christmas season. This genre represents the quintessential musical expression of Venezuelan Christmas. Modesta Bor, our composition teacher, always instilled in us the cultivation of this genre in the repertoire of our choirs and as creative work, in order to preserve it from its disappearance before the overwhelming invasion of other musical genres strange to our traditional Christmas holidays.
The best title I found for this work was that, Aguinaldo, since it is a Christmas musical "gift". It can be sung a cappella, although can also be accompanied by our traditional cuatro. It was premiered under my direction in December 1992 by the Orfeón Universitario of the Central University of Venezuela, to whom it is dedicated.
