13 Canciones españolas antiguas

'13 Canciones españolas antiguas is a collection of songs by Garcá Lorca. ^[1]

Lorca literary achievements are legend; less known – at least outside of Spain – are his compositions. He collected and curated many Spanish folk songs, writing own arrangements and possibly changing the words himself.

Lorca collected and arranged many Spanish folk songs, particularly from his native Andalusian region in the south—perhaps tinkering with their words himself. His moving performances of them, sometimes singing and accompanying himself on piano or guitar, became well known to millions of Spaniards before he was shot in the early days of the Spanish Civil War, apparently by supporters of Franco. His refusal to write down his arrangements is in keeping with the history of the oral tradition that so fascinated him. He also disliked the inability of the musical notation to reflect the characteristic microtonal and rhythmic complexities of this music. Fortunately in 1931 he made five records of his arrangements, sung by La Argentinita and accompanied by himself on the piano; these have been transcribed and performed countless times since.
