Las Tres Hojas – for Mezzo-Soprano, Classical Guitar and Chamber Orchestra
(Flute, Oboe, Bassoon & Strings) – Public Domain

This arrangement of the traditional Spanish song Las Tres Hojas presents a lyrical and expressive interpretation of a beautiful melody from the Iberian folk tradition. The song is widely known through the historical repertoire of Spanish traditional music and later collections associated with Federico García Lorca.

Scored for mezzo-soprano, classical guitar, and chamber orchestra, the arrangement blends the warmth of the solo voice with the distinctive Spanish sonority of the classical guitar. The flute, oboe, and bassoon provide delicate color and melodic dialogue, while the string orchestra supports the harmonic texture and expressive flow of the music.

The orchestration was designed for small orchestral forces, creating a transparent and balanced texture suitable for concert performances, chamber orchestra programs, vocal recitals with ensemble, and university ensembles exploring Spanish repertoire.
