General Information

Title: A la nanita nana
Composer: '''Segundo Cueva Celi''' (Ecuador) and NOT Douglas Brooks-Davies

Douglas Brooks-Davies writes: The attribution to Segundo Cueva Celi seems problematic, and I take strong objection to the tone of Mr Nottingham's comment, which suggests deliberate carelessness on my part ('he doesn't even know the composer's name'). The website Mr Nottingham cites does indeed appear to contain a claim, dated December 2006, that Celi and his estate own the copyright of the piece. However, when I submitted my arrangement in 2004, all available websites and other sources I consulted described the piece as either 'traditional Spanish' or traditional Latin American (Cuban, etc.).
