Saeta (flamenco)
The ''saeta'' ((:saˈeta)) is a revered form of Spanish religious song, whose form and style has evolved over many centuries. Saetas evoke strong emotion and are sung most often during public processions.
==Performance==
The saeta is a song of Catholic Spain dating back many centuries.〔Manuel Ríos Ruiz at page 71. The saeta's etymology is not clear.〕 The ''saeta antigua'' (saeta ) probably arose from the recitation of psalms under the influence of liturgical music.〔Ángel Álvarez Caballero at pages 126-127.〕 "Saetas vary greatly in form and style, ranging from simple syllabic melodies to highly ornamented ones."〔Willi Apel, ''Harvard Dictionary of Music'' (Cambridge: The Belknap Press 1944, 1969) at 748.〕 In the older tradition, solemn drums and horns might accompany the singer, or the saetero sang alone. Since the nineteenth century, however, the more favored saetas have incorporated distinct elements associated with Flamenco music, particularly the siguiriyas.〔Ángel Álvarez Caballero at 125-129.〕
The saeta is best known for its mournful power during Holy Week in Spain.〔The week in the Church calendar of the Entry into Jerusalem, the Last Supper, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection.〕 The song is performed during the processions by religious confraternities that move slowly through the streets of cities and towns in southern Spain.〔Ángel Álvarez Caballero at p. 127.〕〔Domingo Manfredi Cano p. 183-184.〕〔Context and background of confraternities: Payne pp. 105-106, 183; French similarities, p. 106.〕 Possessing a plaintive emotional intensity, and dramatic charge, the saeta is sung by the ''saetero'', often from a balcony, and may be addressed to the statue of Jesus below, in his agony on the Via Dolorosa, or to that of his suffering mother Mary.〔José Carlos de Luna p. 51-52.〕 These and other crafted statues are mounted on platforms and carried along the streets on the shoulders of several penitents who pass among the assembled public.〔Timothy Mitchell at 137-154, 170-180.〕 The immediate emotional response to the saeta, often of intense sorrow, may be the reason for its name, as the Spanish word ''saeta'' can mean "arrow or dart".〔Andrés Batista at 16, 72.〕〔Saeta can also mean "bud of a vine" or "hand of a clock" or "magnetic needle". ''Appleton's New Cuyás Dictionary'', v.2 (NY 1928; Cumbre, México 16th ed. 1966), p. 488.〕
Saetas are also sung at outdoor devotions throughout Lent, and may be sung during the Christmas season as well.〔 A special form of the saeta (the ''saeta carcelera'') is also sung at prisons during visits there by the confraternities.〔〔Timothy Mitchell at 76-79.〕 Several of the cities in Andalusia have their own peculiar styles of the saeta.〔Julian Pemartin at 138.〕 Four intentions or themes have been distinguished from the religious lyrics, which mark the music of Saeta: descriptive, praising, prayerful, and exhortative.〔Manuel Ríos Ruiz at p. 72, approving earlier work by Ricardo Molina and Antonio Mairena.〕
