# Clavelitos — Arrangement for Voice and Piano
**Clavelitos** is a well-known Spanish song that for many decades was widely regarded and circulated as part of the traditional and folkloric repertoire of the Spanish *Tuna* — the traditional university musical ensembles of Spain.
The song was composed in 1949 and became especially popular through the Spanish *Tuna* tradition. It was performed by numerous university ensembles, rondallas and singers and gradually became one of the best-known songs associated with the Spanish *Tuna* repertoire. Its long history of performance and transmission from one generation of performers to another contributed to its widespread perception as a traditional Spanish song.
Modern bibliographic sources identify the original authors as **Genaro Monreal** (music) and **Federico Galindo** (lyrics). The National Library of Spain catalogues several printed editions of *Clavelitos*, including editions for voice and piano, and classifies the work within the *Canciones de tuna* repertoire.
This edition presents a **new arrangement for voice and piano by N. Subbota**, prepared from the traditional performance tradition of the song.
**Original music:** Genaro Monreal
**Original lyrics:** Federico Galindo
**Arrangement:** N. Subbota
**Instrumentation:** Voice and Piano
**Genre:** Spanish Waltz / Tuna Repertoire
This arrangement is intended as a concert and educational edition, preserving the characteristic melodic and rhythmic identity of *Clavelitos* while providing a piano accompaniment suitable for vocal performance.
For many years, *Clavelitos* was commonly listed, performed and circulated simply as a **traditional or folk Spanish song**, which explains why earlier editions and online sources could identify it as “Folk” or “Traditional.” The present description provides the historically documented authorship while recognizing the song's longstanding place in Spanish traditional performance culture.
