Brass Ensemble Euphonium,Flugelhorn,Trombone,Trumpet,Tuba - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1408764 Composed by Quirino Fidel Mendoza Cortes. Arranged by Hans Kolditz (Arranger) Peet du Toit (Orchestrator). Folk. 12 pages. Peet du Toit #991364. Published by Peet du Toit (A0.1408764). Cielito Lindo, the beloved Mexican folk song, was composed by Quirino Mendoza y Cortés in 1882. Its title translates to “Lovely Sweet One.†Although the word “cielo†means “sky†or “heaven,†in this context, it serves as a term of endearment similar to “sweetheart†or “honey.†The diminutive form, “Cielito,†can be translated as “sweetie,†and “lindo†means “cute,†“lovely,†or “pretty.â€Hans Kolditz's clever arrangement of this beaut inspired me to orchestrate it for a brass and percussion group.
