Composed in 1928, it was dedicated to the Duchess of Bassiano.

Song

"Song" is Moderato, in 3/4 time, and G major. It is based on the Catalan narrative folk song "El Mariner" ("The Sailor"). In the story, a maiden knitting by the sea is suddenly taken away by an English prince to become a queen. Its somewhat melancholic melody, evoking nostalgia, is beautiful, enhanced by its three-dimensional sonorities.

Dance

"Dance" is based on the "Torch Dance" performed at the festival of Castelltallat. It is in G major and 2/4 time. The music is structured in rondo form, with variations in key and time signature.
