Program notes

Este niño tiene sueño
tiene ganas de dormir,
tiene un ojito cerrado
y otro no lo puede abrir. 

A la mar tengo que ir
por agua para llorar,
porque no tienen mis ojos
lágrimas que derramar.
 

Nana huertana, Op.15 is a sweet lullaby based on a traditional Spanish song. The composer works not only by adding harmony and instrumentation but also the introduction, the music development and the final coda. The lightness of the voice and the other instruments as well as the harmonic feelings make this sweet lullaby to evoke what was Spain during the early twentieth century.
