Romanza from the zarzuela La del Soto del Parral

La del Soto del Parral reached the stage of the Teatro de La Latina in Madrid on 26 October 1927, with music written jointly by Reveriano Soutullo and Juan Vert to a libretto by Anselmo Cuadrado Carreño and Luis Fernández de Sevilla. The pair had already had a hit with La leyenda del beso and worked together until Vert's death in 1931. The story is set among Castilian villagers, and the tenor romanza — the miller Germán's confession of his love — became the number that carried the zarzuela into the concert repertoire.
