This is an arrangement of a 17th century Mexican Motet in the original Nahuatl (Aztec) language, dedicated to an infant child, originally composed on a melody in canon form. The present arrangement includes SATB chorus, children's chorus, percussion instruments and optional keyboard. The repeats can be performed more than once, elongating the piece. The pdf includes three files: Vocal -Percussion score (7 pages), Piano-Percussion score (4 pages), Percussion score (3 pages).
The meaning of the text is:
Sleep, sleep, sleep O my child
Indeed, the angels have come to call you (into the world.)
Alleluia.
