The suite for orchestra Canciones y danzas para Dulcinea by Antón García Abril, a Spanish composer from Teruel, is clearly inspired by Cervantes. It was premiered with considerable success on the 12th of August 1993 in the Asturian town of Ribadesella by the Orchestra of the Principality of Asturias, conducted by Jesse Levine.
Premiered on the 9th of November, 1940 at the Palau de la Música in Barcelona by the guitarist Regino Sainz de la Maza as soloist and the Philharmonic Orchestra of Barcelona with Cesar Mendoza Lasalle as Conductor, the Concierto de Aranjuez was composed by Joaquín Rodrigo in Paris the year before at the request of the great guitarist from Burgos, to whom it is dedicated.
The ballet El amor brujo, composed by Falla in 1914 and described as a "gypsy musical piece (gitanería musical)", was adapted for orchestra in 1925 as a suite with thirteen movements which tell with music a gypsy story of witchcraft and superstition. "To write this piece I used simple, popular ideas, some of them taken from Pastora Imperio, who sings them as part of her tradition, and which are without a doubt  'authentic' […] I always kept the popular motif, dressed with a technique adapted to its character but that forms a homogeneous 'whole'. This is my artistic conviction, and this is what I did in La vida breve", as the composer explained to the press.
