In
the Malagan lullaby we find a reflection of Moorish influence
which left an indelible mark on the culture of Southern Spain.
Andalusian music and architecture are dominated by the same
Oriental spirit. Elaborately decorative as the arches and galleries
of the Alhambra are, their lines are graceful and un-pretentious.
In this song too, the melody line is fixed, and it is left to
the individual singer to decorate the 'curve of the song' with
ornamentations and variations that arise from mood and personality.
