Work introduction

Printed in 1914, the Siete canciones populares españolas number among Manuel de Falla’s most famous works, which he composed both for voice and piano and for voice and orchestra. The seven songs were an immediate success. They inspired many composers to make arrangements of them; Luciano Berio’s (for voice and chamber orchestra) are among the most felicitous. His capture of the Spanish atmosphere in the songs is masterly. The arrangement unfolds all its magic in the synthesis of the rhythmic characteristics and the often dance-like layout. Berio’s virtuosity is unmistakable; however, as in his folksongs, it steps into the background in favour of the seductive, Mediterranean melos.
