Published by Arturo Escorza (A0.1474647). This sheet music features two versions of a 17th-century song composed by the renowned Spanish composer José Marín (1618-1699). Marín, a tenor of the Royal Chapel of King Philip IV, had a tumultuous life that took him to Rome, the New World, and eventually into a ten-year exile. He was praised as the best musician in Madrid and was known both within and outside Spain for his exceptional skill in composition and performance.Interestingly, the famous Mexican song Cielito Lindo shares a small connection with this piece, at least in the opening lines of both the Mexican and the 17th-century Spanish songs: De la Sierra Morena.... This sheet music includes two versions of Marín's song, one from the Libro de tonos de José Miguel de Guerra (also known as Codice Guerra) and the other from the National Library of Spain. The composition is for voice and continuo, encompassing 5 pages.
