De Colores (Spanish folk song)
arr. Michael Conley (1970-)

Conductor's Notes:
Though this cheerful song is associated with Mexican folklore, it is not known for certain when and where it originated. It is believed to have been in circulation throughout the Americas since the 16th century, with melodies brought over from Spain during the colonial era. "De Colores" shares one of its melodic lines with the chorus of the Italian folk song "Bella ragazza dalle trecce bionde". Some modern lyrics are widely understood to have been created by a group of Cursillo participants in Majorca, Spain, after on eof the earliest Cursillo retreats in the 1940s. Today it serves as the unofficial anthem of the Farm Worker Movement.
