ResumoespanolEl villancico paraliturgico fue interpretado durante el siglo XVII en iglesias y conventos espanoles con el fin de atraer a los fieles a las ceremonias. Para asegurar su atractivo recurria como inspiracion a las manifestaciones literarias mas afianzadas en el pueblo, en especial, los subgeneros teatrales breves. Este articulo pretende analizar si el contexto de interpretacion de este genero religioso podia influir en su mayor o menor cercania al teatro. Para ello partimos de un estudio previo de los villancicos de la Real Capilla de Madrid, institucion marcada por la presencia de la familia real y el fuerte protocolo impuesto a su alrededor. Nuestro objetivo sera contrastar las letras de la capilla del rey con los textos supervivientes de otra institucion religiosa madrilena: el Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales EnglishThe paraliturgical 'villancico' was performed in Spanish churches and convents during the seventeenth century in order to bring a larger audience to the religious services. With this purpose in mind the 'villancico' drew some of its inspiration from some of the most popular literary genres of the time, in particular the minor theatrical subgenres. This article analyzes to what extent the context in which the 'villancicos' were performed could explain its resemblance to contemporary theatre. The author studies first the 'villancicos' of the Royal Chapel at Madrid, an institution characterized by the presence of the royal family and the strong protocol imposed around them. A comparison is offered between the lyrics of some 'villancicos' from the Royal Chapel and those from another religious institution in Madrid where 'villancicos' were regularly performed: the Monastery of the Descalzas Reales.
