【欧洲·西班牙】马略卡的西比尔咏唱Chant of the Sybil on Majorca（2010年）

12月24日晚，马略卡岛各地的教堂在马丁斯举行了《西比尔圣歌》的演唱会。这首圣歌标志着每年的圣诞守夜，由一个男孩或女孩在两个或更多祭坛男孩或女孩的陪同下演唱。在圣歌中，他们穿过教堂走向圣坛，歌手手持剑，笔直地举在脸前，而祭坛上的男孩或女孩则手持蜡烛。在这首歌的结尾，一个十字架被剑划过。在岛上表演的圣歌版本与它们的格里高利起源几乎没有什么不同：每一个版本都由一个无伴奏合唱团演唱，乐句之间由一个风琴演奏。歌手穿的服装通常是白色或彩色的束腰外衣，有时在脖子和下摆上刺绣，通常与斗篷一起穿。头部覆盖着一顶与束腰外衣颜色相同的帽子。这一仪式涉及马略卡岛上所有的教会教区，老一代和年轻一代作为歌手、服装制作人、监礼人和其他助手并肩工作，从而确保其传播。

2010年度列入人类非物质文化遗产名录。

The chant of the Sybil is performed at matins on the night of 24 December in churches throughout Majorca. The chant marks the annual Christmas Vigil, and is sung by a boy or girl accompanied by two or more altar boys or girls. During the chant they walk through the church towards the chancel, the singer carrying a sword in his or her hands, held upright in front of the face, while the altar boys or girls carry candles. At the end of the song a cross is drawn in the air with the sword. The versions of the chant performed on the island vary little from their Gregorian roots: each is sung a cappella with music between the verses provided by an organ. The costume worn by the singers usually consists of a white or coloured tunic, sometimes embroidered around the neck and hem, and often worn with a cape. The head is covered with a cap of the same colour as the tunic. The rite involves all the church parishes on Majorca with old and young generations working side-by-side as singers, costume-makers, celebrants and other helpers, thus ensuring its transmission.
