Something for Thursday

I heard this on the radio yesterday, and I can’t believe I haven’t heard it before. It’s achingly beautiful. It’s a single song for soprano and orchestra, called “Bailero”, by Marie-Joseph Canteloube. It’s part of a longer song cycle that I’m going to have to check out one of these days. Sometimes when I’m in my car and I get to a place, I sit for a time to hear what’s left of the work that’s playing. This was one of those moments.
