Allá va un encobijado by Antonio Lauro - Tenebrae conducted by Nigel Short

Allá va un encobijado is one of the most moving choral works by Venezuelan composer Antonio Lauro (1917–1986), setting to music a poem by the renowned Venezuelan poet Alberto Arvelo Torrealba. Inspired by the imagery and traditions of the Venezuelan plains, the work is a profound meditation on memory, loss and resilience. This performance is sung by Tenebrae, conducted by Nigel Short, and is featured in the Pixaudio documentary "Antonio Lauro: The Last Venezuelan", directed by Leonardo González-Alcalá. The documentary explores the life, music and legacy of Antonio Lauro.

Poem by Alberto Arvelo Torrealba Allá va un encobijado por el peladal pampero: así se va mi esperanza sin ti por el alma adentro. Llanos, y llanos, y llanos crucé por ir a «Tu Olvido» y tras tanto caminar llegué a «Te quiero lo mismo». Sin ti por el alma adentro me acordé de cuando iba por la llanura lloviendo.
