Description

Los peces en el rio is a popular Spanish carol in Spain and Latin America. The title translation is “the little fishes in the river” and refers to the little fishes being excited “to see God born,” as are the birds in the air and the roses in bloom. The lyrics are delightful and are available online. This setting begins with the calm, simple Los peces melody which quickly becomes excited and rhythmic. The Fum melody is soon introduced and eventually the two tunes are brilliantly joined into an exciting finale. Techniques are Ring, mallets and TD with a few marts included for good measure. This is a ‘must-have’ for your ensemble!
