Complete lyrics in catalan&english below. After a much too long time since my last music video, I wanted to bring you a piece I've been meaning to record a long time since is very dear to me. This is the 🎵 Cançó del Lladre (The thief's song) and it a Catalan folk song arranged by the one and only Miquel Llobet. I hope this music brings some shine and warmth to these cold winter days 🥰 Maestro Llobet arranged the melody with only two repeats but the original can last about 17min because as a folk song, the lyrics tell a complete story over the repeating melody. Instrumentally though, there is no development so I find the arrangement of Llobet to be a perfect caption of the essence and delicacy of this song. *** Become a Patron: https://www.mercefont.com/pricing and enjoy and learn from all these benefits! - Access to Membership Forum with articles on music, practice routines, stage performance and more! - Receive feedback on a video recording of yours. - Early access to my Youtube releases. - Behind the scenes (daily videos). - Informative newsletters, brochures and other materials. - Receive a signed photo of me at your home address! *** CATALÁ 🎵Cancó del Lladre Quan jo n'era petitet Festejava i presumia Espardenya blanca al peu I mocador a la falsia Adéu, clavell morenet! Adéu, estrella del dia! I ara, que ne sóc grandet M'he posat a mala vida Me só posat a robar Ofici de cada dia Adéu, clavell morenet! Adéu, estrella del dia! Vaig robar un traginer Que venia de la fira Li prenguí tots els diners I la mostra que duia Adéu, clavell morenet! Adéu, estrella del dia! Quan he tingut prou diners He robat també una nina L'he robada amb falsedat Dient que m'hi casaria Adéu, clavell morenet! Adéu, estrella del dia! La justícia m'ha pres I en presó fosca en duia La justícia m'ha pres I em farà pagar amb la vida Adéu, clavell morenet! Adéu, estrella del dia! ENGLISH 🎵 The Thief's Song When I was a little boy I was boastful and presumptuous; While espadrille on my foot And a handkerchief in my pocket. Goodbye, golden carnation! Goodbye, day star!

I robbed a merchant Who was returning from the town fair; I stole all of his money And the sample he was carrying. Goodbye, golden carnation! Goodbye, day star! Once I had enough money I have kidnapped a young maiden: I have taken her with lies, Promising that I'd marry her! Goodbye, golden carnation! Goodbye, day star!

Sheet music PDF: https://www.carlo-marchione.com/product-page/quarantine-by-a-shiels Quarantine by A.Shiels (Dedicated to Merce Font) 1. Try to relax and sleep 00:00 2. Get some exercise 05:31 3. Requiem for the lost melody 08:58 Andrew Shiels: https://www.andrewshielscomposer.com ▶ About the piece Early in 2020 as Covid-19 spread through Europe, musicians as others, felt helplessly trapped, forced to remain inside with normal artistic life disrupted beyond our worst dreams. Under such circumstance many would shrink down into shells of depression and self-pity. But one day amidst this sea of negativity, I came across a young Spanish guitarist named Merce Font, who not alone was motivating herself to carry on working, but was also helping other musicians to adapt to their new circumstances. This spirit of positivity inspired me to consider what I might add as a contribution to improve the lot of those stuck inside for the duration of the lockdown. I came up with the idea of composing a set of short pieces related to the challenges of the paradox of our shared isolation. We are all apart because we are stuck inside and yet we are all together in our shared submission to these necessary steps. The pieces would serve, I hoped, as supports for their audience. But I also wanted to salute the lively and positive spirit of their dedicatee Merce Font, whose subsequent recording of the work has amply rewarded my belief that she is one of the finest interpreters of her generation. Many guitarists have fine technical facility, but far beyond this it is Merce’s musical perspective and sensitivity that impress her audience Thank. you for watching!
