Description
"Levanta Pascual" is a traditional villancico (a type of Spanish folk song) composed by Juan del Encina, a prominent figure in 15th-century Spanish Renaissance music. The song celebrates the Christian reconquest of Granada in 1492, marking the end of Muslim rule in the Iberian Peninsula.
The title, "Levanta, Pascual", means "Get up, Pascual", and the lyrics depict Pascual being urged to rise and prepare to go to Granada, where an important event has occurred — the city has fallen to the Christian forces. The song blends rural imagery with themes of military triumph and national pride.
