Chiquitita was the first single released by the Swedish group ABBA from the album Voulez-Vous.

With the success of the English version, ABBA also recorded a version of the song in Spanish. The song was first released on the album ABBA Oro: Grandes Éxitos.

Chiquitita was performed at UNICEF's 1979 charity event, Music for UNICEF Concert, broadcast worldwide by the United Nations General Assembly. As a result of the event, the group donated half of the song's royalties to UNICEF. To this day, 50% of the proceeds from the song go to UNICEF, in recognition of the International Year of the Child in 1979. In May 2007, Chiquitita generated more than SEK 15,000,000 (about 2.5 million dollars).

The song was a hit in several countries: Belgium, Finland, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain and Switzerland; reached the top 5 in Australia, West Germany, Great Britain, Norway and Sweden, becoming the most successful single from the Voulez-Vous album.

Chiquitita, was one of the few ABBA singles to be released without a custom-made video. Since then, in the group's video collections, musical television programs have been used. The clip for Chiquitita was recorded at the BBC for the Abba in Switzerland show, shown throughout Europe at Easter 1979. In it, the band appears singing the song on a mountain, with a snowman in the background.

Composed by James Smith. Classical,Contest,Festival,Instructional,Multicultural,Traditional,World. Educational Method. 44 pages. Ensemble Llama Music #1051737. Published by Ensemble Llama Music (A0.1474103).

I’m a bassoonist, and I don’t like the teaching materials for bassoon that are out there. There’s not enough depth and engagement in them, and nothing that supports the everyday music teacher. So I set out to create something that I would feel comfortable giving to my private students to help them grow as musicians.

There are many types of music in the book: etudes, exercises, warm-ups, backwards and upside down duets (one person plays normally, the other person reads the music in an unusual way), improvised music, and composition. Musical styles range across a variety of cultures and genres such as classical, blues, fiddle tunes, marches, contemporary, musicals, and more.  

Using carefully crafted etudes, exercises, and songs in a variety of styles, your bassoon students are going to to find immediate success. The bite-sized examples encourage students to focus on tone, as they extend their technique and range on this wonderful instrument.
