This piece is an Ancient Spanish (Galician) Chant. I LOVE Medieval/Renaissance Music!

Not "popular" or by A.Nonymus, the author of the song is Mateo Flecha (1481 - 1553)

@AgimA74 - Please READ my ABOVE comments. Galicia is a PROVINCE - people from that Province are called GALLEGOS. The Language of Ancient Spain is CASTELLANO or in English - Castillan. And considering that it is part of my Heritage, I do know something of the it's History and Culture. What most of us agree on is that RIU CHIU is done in Ancient Spanish or Castillian, and that it quite beautiful Case Closed.

Muito bom! Nunca vi nada igual

@atisaseret Since when is ancient spanish galician?! Spanish is castillian and not galician/portuguese...
-
@PapagenoHannover No, "guardar" in spanish of the middle ages would also mean "to keep from". So "Dios guardó el lobo de nuestra cordera" means "God kept away the wolf from our lamb".

PapagenoHannover, doesn't "Dios guardó el lobo de nuestra cordera" mean God KEPT the wolf FROM our lamb? Isn't cordera referring to the Virgin Mary? In the other verses it refers to Cristo.
My favorite amateur group on YT, by far. I'd love to hear you do "Bon jour, bon mois, bon an" by Dufay. Happy holidays!

"Dios guardo del lobo a nuestra cordera" should be sang, which means that the congregation is being rescued from the dangerous wolf. The way you sing "Dios guardó el lobo de nuestra cordera" would mean, that the wolf is being saved from the cristianity. In a humoristic way it would make sense, if you consider how some christians bite! Best wishes
