Description:
The Three-Cornered Hat is a two act ballet by Manuel de Falla that was commissioned by famed ballet impresario Sergei Diaghilev and premiered in 1919. Incorporating Spanish dance rather than classical ballet style, the music uses traditional Andalusian folk music in telling the comedic story of a miller and his wife's encounter with a dandified, but lecherous, magistrate. The "Three Dances" in this suite arranged by de Falla are taken from the second act of the ballet.
