If Jose Vasconcelo had published

Guardame las Vacas by Lucas Ruiz de Ribayaz is a harp consort that was written in Spain during the baroque period‚ which was in 1677. The selection I heard on 91.7 FM was performed by Andrew Lawrence-King. This musical piece caught my attention because of how soothing but upset the harp sounded.
