NOTÍCIES DEL SERPENT DE MANLLEU A PARTIR D'UNA LETRILLA DE FRA JACINT DE SANTA BÀRBARA (1726-1807). (Catalan)

The article identifies the author of the composition The Serpent of Manlleu: Fra Jacint de Santa Bàrbara. Not having the original, an analysis is made of the text from the different versions that are known, collected in the form of song by folklorists throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. The essay also describes the context that inspired it and remarks on the musical part. Finally, the history of the song is reviewed until the present, showing the influence that the current image of the Serpent has ended up having, now as an identifying symbol of Manlleu.

L'article desvetlla l'autor de la composició El Serpent de Manlleu: fra Jacint de Santa Bàrbara. A manca de l'original, es fa una anàlisi del text a partir de les diferents versions que se'n coneixen, recollides en forma de cançó pels folkloristes al llarg dels segles xix i xx. L'escrit també descriu el context que la va motivar i en comenta la part musical. Finalment, fa un repàs del recorregut de la cançó fins a arribar als nostres dies, evidenciant la influència que ha acabat tenint en la imatge actual del Serpent, convertit ja en un símbol identitari de Manlleu.
