Sebastian Yradier Espagne Sebastián de Iradier y Salaverri (Salberri) (1809-1865), Spanish composer, also known as Sebastián Yradier. Born on January 20, 1809 in Lanciego, in the province of Álava. His publisher in Paris urged him to "universalize" his name, from Iradier to Yradier. He is known primarily for his habaneras, especially the one titled "La Paloma", written around 1860 after a visit to Cuba. "La Paloma" was extremely popular in both Spain and America (especially Mexico), where it was responsible for the great popularity achieved by the habanera. Another of Iradier's compositions is "El Arreglito", an habanera used by Georges Bizet in his opera Carmen. Bizet, thinking it was a folk song, took the melody of "El Arreglito" and created what is known today as the "Habanera" from Carmen: the song 'L'amour est un oiseau rebelle'. Iradier died in obscurity on December 6, 1865. (Hide extended text) ... (Read all) Source of the extract of the biography : Wikipedia
Interest : Skill level : Just wanted to say that I had
been searching and searching
for any sheet music for this
song and was thrilled to find
this here. My wife, a music
teacher/vocalist, plans on
using it to teach the song to
her students. Still trying to
find the words..... many
thanks.
Interest : Skill level : P.S. - Okay, after I posted my
previous comment I noticed the
link to the sheet music with
the chords and melody... duh.
Although it looks to be in a
different key... perhaps
easier for my wife and her
students? Thanks again!
Interest : Skill level : I had been searching and

will be teaching this one to
her students. I think she can
figure out the piano chords
from this sheet music but if
you know of any other sources
please let me know. Many
thanks!
Interest : Skill level : My understanding is that
Sebastian de Iradier y
Salaverri was Basque and not
Spanish as stated in
Wikipedia. Most Basques are
intensely proud of Iradier and
would strongly prefer that he
be regarded as Basque.
