Musician's or Publisher's Notes

Tres Canciones Populares Mexicanas         Manuel Ponce

 La Valentina

These songs are typically sung by duos or trios with accompanying guitars.

Ponce incorporates typical runs and harmonies in the supporting lines with these arrangements for solo guitar.  Providing rich, dense harmonic texture underneath simple melodies. The first and third are revolutionary songs. The second is actually an arrangement of a song Ponce wrote for guitar and voice.   Steven Vazquez
