Product Description

Probably the worlds most well-known song in the habanera style arranged for SSA + piano.

La Paloma was written in the early 1860s by the Spanish Basque composer Sebastián Iradier (Yradier), after a visit to Cuba. Particularly popular in the Spanish speaking world, especially Mexico, La Paloma has also been written and recorded in various other languages over the years. (You may know the English version No More sung by Elvis Presley in his film Blue Hawaii.) I have read that along with Yesterday by The Beatles, it is one of the most recorded songs in the history of music, certainly the most recorded Spanish song.

Iradiers original Spanish lyrics are written in four verses from the point of view of a sailor leaving Havana and parting from his sweetheart, dreaming of their wedding day and life together, and asking her to cherish his spirit if it returns to her window as a dove. This SSA version has English text which tells the story in two verses.

Sally Bauer's piano accompaniment is a simple habanera style arrangement which allows the SSA harmonies to shine through.
