11. Canción de Cuna para dormir a un Negrito
Xavier Montsalvatge (1912-2002) / Ildefonso Pereda Valdés (1899-1996)
Arranged by Cantabile
Exquisite song from Spanish composer Montsalvatge's Cinco Canciónes Negras (1958). Of the five songs, this one was written first
in the 1940s and the rest of the cycle was built around it. It is one of a list of songs that Stephen Sondheim wishes he had written
(at least in part).
We have also enjoyed singing this with orchestra - strings, celeste, harp and xylophone; and what a pleasure to have Malcolm play this:
he recorded the whole cycle with Della Jones with Montsalvatge himself in the studio...
