Notes and Legend
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Cancion was composed as a gift to Tom Shadyac. There are no borrowed folk melodies or rhythmic patterns. It is one of those pieces that seem to have already been written, and I fortunately happened to stumble upon."
- Carlos Rafael Rivera

The Michael Chapdelaine video repeats the first 7 measures.
The sheet left hand fingering has some minor errors - I have done my best!
