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.”Hans Kolditz's clever arrangement of this beaut inspired me to orchestrate it for a brass and percussion group.
