By Miles Davis, Gil Evans, Manuel de Falla. By Miles Davis, Gil Evans, Manuel de Falla. Arranged by Nick Mordal. 20th Century,Chamber,Classical,Jazz,Latin. 9 pages. Nick Mordal #917069. Published by Nick Mordal (A0.1329095).This is from the Miles Davis album Sketches of Spain and is arranged for violin, cello and guitar. You can also find the song in Manuel de Falla's ballet El Amor Brujo. There is a vamp at the end where the violinist in encouraged to improvise chromatically and cue the final measures. The piece has several origins. I first discovered it on Miles Davis' and Gil Evans' record Sketches of Spain, and mainly based the arrangement on that version. However, the melody is from ancient Spanish folk tradition and was brought to the popular world in Manuel de Falla's Ballet El Amor Brujo. It is a very haunting and moody work in each of it's versions. I believe I captured the feeling in a trio of guitar, violin and cello. Light percussion can work very nicely with it as well, as you can hear in this version performed by Mill City Caravan.
