Don Quichotte à Dulcinée - Arranged for Cello and Guitar by Gregg Nestor : http://www.greggnestorguitar.com/

Don Quichotte à Dulcinée is a song cycle by Maurice Ravel based on the story of Don Quixote. It was first composed for voice and piano but later orchestrated. The songs are traditionally performed by a baritone or bass(-baritone). The cycle is made up of three independent pieces: Chanson Romanesque, Chanson épique, and Chanson à boire. The text was written by the librettist Paul Morand. It was composed between the years of 1932 and 1933.

For the lusty opening "Chanson Romanesque," Ravel chose the quajira dance-pattern, exploiting the quirks of its alternating 6/8 and 3/4 meters for word-painting, and enlivening it by sometimes garnishing the 3/4 with a clashing dissonance. Sensuality subtly increases with a turn to the major, and the final rhapsodizing on the beloved ("O Dulcinée") deepens the emotional perspective of all that has gone before.
