Manuel M. Ponce (1882—1948) is considered by many to be the foremost Mexican composer of the twentieth century. Gavota (1901), originally for solo piano, shows the influence of the Mexican canción romántica, and was Ponce’s first successful work. Arranged here for flute choir by Héctor Javier Rodríguez.
