Composed in 1961 and dedicated to the harpsichordist Rafael Puyana.

The song, played in unison, is slow and majestic. It is in D minor, 2/4 time, Lento e maestoso. Amidst the polyphonic texture, the melody appears at varying pitches and is sung expressively. In the middle section, a dance in D minor, 6/8 time, Allegro moderato, is also inserted.

The 'Dance' is in D major, 4/4 time, Grazioso. A playful rhythm, reminiscent of a horse's clip-clop, charmingly resonates. One should enjoy the contrasting effects of slurs and staccatos.

The standard performance time is approximately 4 minutes and 30 seconds.
