Yo no nací para este viaje

EL ALBA ENSOMBRECIDA, como el subtítulo indica, comprende 14 villancicos para un itinerario penitencial o viacrucis navideño. Es un verdadero oxímoron sintagmático o, como antes decíamos, una contradictio in términis, no buscada ni artificiosamente pretendida, sino espontáneamente impuesta por el tema. La navidad cristiana se ha convertido en antagónica de sus orígenes, que arrancan del género literario de los evangelios de la infancia, que nos ofrecen Lucas y Mateo.
