29 Mar 06 - 12:44 AM (#1705328) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Maria Elena From: Peace Welcome, Joe. I didn't direct link to the site because I still don't get it right when I do. Figure it's easier for you to do what ya gotta do with the site info just in plain type. |
29 Mar 06 - 01:14 AM (#1705346) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Maria Elena From: Joe Offer For lyrics, that's just the way we like it - the lyrics posted, plus the URL - no need for a link. -Joe- |

17 Feb 08 - 04:21 PM (#2264796) Subject: Maria Elena Sheet Music Wanted From: GUEST,Harry I'm trying to locate a (free) sheet music download site for "Maria Elena" by Lorenzo Barcelata. Anyone know one? |
17 Feb 08 - 05:58 PM (#2264868) Subject: RE: Maria Elena Sheet Music Wanted From: Mick Pearce (MCP) The sheet music collections holding it show a 1941 copyright date, so you won't be able to see one there. Lyrics are available here: Maria Elena lyrics (amongst other places) There is a transcription from a Ry Cooder version here: Maria Elena (standard notation and tab for guitar). If you're interested, I've generated a couple of lead sheets (pdf) from midi files I've found on the net (just imported into Band in a Box - no cleaning up, but usable I think). If you'd like them join Mudcat and send me a personal message (there's a link there in the Quick Links drop down at the top of the page - you need to be a member to use it) with your email address.

16 Dec 08 - 01:50 PM (#2517019) Subject: Tune Req: Maria Elena (intro) From: Artful Codger Somewhere on the net I found Spanish lyrics for "Maria Elena" which include a six-line introduction beginning: Quiero cantarte mujer mi más bonita canción I assume these belong to Barcelata's original (1925), though none of the recordings I've heard (bilingual or English-only) include it. If someone has Barcelata's sheet music, please let me know how the introductory melody goes, via ABC, a dot scan, a MIDI link or some other means. Thanks in advance. |
17 Dec 08 - 04:07 AM (#2517525) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Maria Elena From: Artful Codger A little more searching, and got my hands on a sound clip and a recording. It'd still appreciate getting the melody as written in the original sheet music, as well as verification on the introductory lyrics (which vary in three spots with each citation I find.) |

17 Dec 08 - 07:14 PM (#2518419) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Maria Elena From: GUEST,TJ in San Diego This is too funny. My wife and I were having dinner in a local Mexican restaurant last night in Old Town. A single guitarist/singer stopped at the next table and, for his first selection, played --- "Maria Elena." I remember the Los Indios Tabajaros, allegedly two Jivaro Indians from Brazil, who made an instrumental recording of the song in the late 1950's or early '60's. It made the charts and hung around a while. |

I gave an El Tri Los Panchos record LP (the old size between a 45 and the 60s sized LPs) which had this song and so many other chassics on it. If you are still interested, my email is marwin_smith@hotmail.com. Please put "MARIA ELENA LYRICS" as the subject line so I won't miss it. |
