Situated in the northwest corner of modern Spain, Galicia is an autonomous region and distinct nationality under Spanish law. It was Celtic land for about 1000 years until it was incorporated into the Roman Empire in 19 BC. This carol reflects both the Celtic and Hispanic heritage of the Galician people. While the opening tune fairly resembles an Irish jig, the key change to minor and the accompaniment of castinets and tambourine displays the distinct Hispanic influence. Traditionally the tune is often played on the Galician gaita, the generic term for Spanish bagpipes, which has drone and chanter pipes like its Irish and Scottish cousins. This arrangement includes a part for optional tambourine and castanets which can be performed by a single percussionist. Careful consideration was taken in scoring interesting parts for all players and every instrument in the orchestra plays significant sections of the melody.
