BALADILLA DE LOS TRES RÍOS
El río Guadalquivir va entre naranjos y olivos.
Los dos ríos de Granada bajan de la nieve al trigo.
¡Ay, amor que se fue y no vino!
El río Guadalquivir tiene las barbas granates.
Los dos ríos de Granada uno llanto y otro sangre.
¡Ay, amor que se fue por el aire!
Para los barcos de vela, Sevilla tiene un camino; por el agua de Granada sólo reman los suspiros.
¡Ay, amor que se fue y no vino!
Guadalquivir, alta torre y viento en los naranjales. Dauro y Genil, torrecillas muertas sobre los estanques,
¡Ay, amor que se fue por el aire!
¡Quién dirá que el agua lleva un fuego fatuo de gritos!
¡Ay, amor que se fue y no vino!
Lleva azahar, lleva olivas, Andalucía, a tus mares.
¡Ay, amor que se fue por el aire!
Federico García Lorca (español)
Poema del cante Jondo (1921)

About the piece:
Baladilla de los tres ríos is the first movement of Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco's Romancero Gitano, inspired by the poetic works of Federico García Lorca. This movement beautifully captures the essence of Spanish folklore, evoking images of three rivers that symbolize the journey of love and longing. The delicate interplay between the choir and guitar highlights the rich textures of the music, with the guitar providing a vibrant and rhythmic backdrop to the lyrical vocal lines. Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s use of colorful harmonies and intricate melodies creates a captivating atmosphere that draws the listener into the emotional landscape of Lorca’s poetry.
About the Composer:
Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (1895-1968) was an Italian composer known for his lyrical and colorful style. A prominent figure in the 20th-century classical music scene, he was influenced by both Italian and Spanish musical traditions. After emigrating to the United States to escape fascism, Castelnuovo-Tedesco continued to create significant works, particularly for guitar and voice. His compositions often draw from literature and poetry, infusing them with a unique emotional depth. Romancero Gitano, composed in 1951, reflects his fascination with Spanish culture and Lorca’s poignant imagery.
