Spanish Music for Flute, Harp & Strings
Question: I'm searching for Spanish chamber music for a combination of harp, flute and strings. Any suggestions? Something similar to Piece en forme de Habanera by Ravel would be great. Thanks.

Good luck with your search.
This is a groovy sounding chamber combination, and I'm looking forward to finding other similar works myself for flute, cello and piano for my own concerts next season.
So comments with more pieces of Spanish music very welcome!
Best, Jen

Hi, do you know how can I get the sheet music of Manuel Moreno Buendía - Suite popular española (flute, harp, viola)? I listened to it and find it nice, I search on the web but cannot find even the information of the composer
Thanks!
Dear Anon,
Well this took me almost 2 hrs of google hunting (!)
Then I emailed the company that sells Buendia's sheetmusic in Madrid, and here are the direct links below:

I found the information from World Cat Library online which has two copies of the scores/parts for this work (one in the Netherlands).
The composer's info. is briefly given on about the 6th page of google hits.
He was born in 1932, and is likely still alive, and still has his music published in Madrid.
Much of the available info. is in Spanish so using that language enables more google hits, but, as you say, not easy to locate.
I find that the catalogue online for Seemsa doesn't clearly state this work as in their files.
And yet they wrote back to say yes, it's ready for shipping.
Best, Jen
