This original composition by Ernani Aguiar is a happy and vivid Christmas song. To enhance the words of exclamation of the Angels upon the birth of Christ, Aguiar uses a sharply articulated rhythmic fi gure in contrast to a more subdued melodic line that describes the sleeping shepherds. As the piece progresses, the vitality of the rhythm is driven by rapdily articulated syllables and an ongoing syncopated rhythm. The guitar accompaniment gives this composition the character of bossa nova.
