Composed in 1953. The standard performance time is approximately 4 minutes. (Based on two Cantigas by Alfonso X). It is dedicated to María Cristina de Borbón y Battenberg, daughter of Alfonso XIII. Here, Canción y Danza (Song and Dance) takes on an even more introspective character. The 'Song' is based on Cantiga No. 100 of the Cantigas de Santa María. In 4/4 time, Larghetto molto cantabile. Here, one can feel a sadness likely hidden deep within the heart, from which even the weight of life can be perceived. Each note is imbued with heartfelt devotion, as if in prayer.

In 3/4 time, the 'Dance' is marked 'amiably' (愛らしく). It is based on Cantiga No. 179 of the Cantigas de Santa María. Is there not a kind of compassion here that can only be possessed by one who has known all the suffering and sorrow of life?
