 | | Padre Donostia (born Jose Gonzalo de Zulaica) was, to quote the useful booklet essay by Santiago Gorostiza "not only one of the greatest Basque composers of sacred, symphonic and stage music, but also a highly influential collector and expert in his native region’s folk music". |
 | | In addition, he had been ordained and at the age of fifteen, having been sent to the Capuchin College in Lekaroz in Navarre, joined the Order. |
 | | Donostia adds interesting rhythmic patterns, impressionist recitatives, like a muezzin-melisma from a mosque and children’s melodies found in their games. |
