Neighbor’s Dance (Seguidillas) from “The Three Cornered Hat”

El sombrero de tres picos (The Three-Cornered Hat or Le tricorne) is a ballet with music by Manuel de Falla based in traditional Andalusian folk music. The ballet was commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev and premiered in 1919. This ballet has a Spanish setting and employs the techniques of Spanish dance rather than classical ballet to tell the story of a magistrate infatuated with a miller’s faithful wife.
