It is easy to imagine Rodrigo and Fortún in the Plaza de Santa Ana or in the Retiro, sitting on a bench or stopping on a walk to listen to the songs of the children on a sunny afternoon. On the way to the Lycéum Club where they both spent so many evenings, they would give shape to this compilation songbook, received very positively by critics and recovered today in all its beauty.
The writer Elena Fortún and the pianist and composer María Rodrigo, determined to preserve the group songs and the romances that they heard the boys and girls of Madrid sing, prepared this beautiful book in 1934. The text is accompanied by beautiful illustrations by Gori Muñoz, reproduced in their entirety in this facsimile edition.
