Es ist diese Liebe zur katalanischen Populärkultur, die Mompous "Cancons i Danses" (Lieder und Tänze) zu einem seiner wichtigsten Werke macht. Zumindest sind sie von allen seinen Schöpfungen die bekanntesten in seinem eigenen Land, und die Tatsache, dass sich ihre Komposition fast sein ganzes Leben lang, von 1918 bis 1962, erstreckt, macht sie umso interessanter. Die Paarung eines langsamen Liedes, gefolgt von einem lebhafteren Tanz, erinnert an die Kombination von Präludium und Fuge oder an Tänze wie den ungarischen Csardas. Die dreizehn Stücke, die für Klavier geschrieben wurden, fast das einzige Instrument, für das Mompou komponierte (Canco i Dansa Nr. 13 gibt es auch für Gitarre, und Nr. 15 für Orgel), stellen im Großen und Ganzen Bearbeitungen populärer katalanischer Lieder dar. Wenn es unter den Komponisten seiner Zeit sehr verbreitet war, traditionelle Melodien harmonisch zu gestalten, so glänzt Mompou in dieser Kunst: Seine Fähigkeit, einem Lied eine Harmonie zu verleihen, die einfach und natürlich, aber gleichzeitig originell und hoch entwickelt erscheint, ist eines seiner größten Geheimnisse.
It is this love for popular Catalan culture that makes Mompou's Cancons i Danses (Songs and Dances) one of his most important works. At least they are, of all his creations, the best-known in his own country, and the fact that their composition spreads over nearly the whole of his life, from 1918 to 1962, makes them all the more interesting. The pairing of a slow song followed by a more animated dance reminds one of the combination of prelude and fugue, or dances such as the Hungarian Csardas. The thirteen pieces written for piano, almost the only instrument Mompou composed for (Canco i Dansa No. 13 also exists for guitar, and No. 15 for organ) on the whole represent adaptations of popular Catalan songs. If setting traditional tunes to harmony is very common amongst composers of his time, Mompou shines in this art: his ability to give a song a harmony which appears simple and natural, but at the same time original and highly sophisticated, is one of his greatest secrets.

Reviews
P. Cosse in KLASSIK heute 4/99: "Maso nimmt die Vokaltänze mit hellem, klarem und wasserfrischem Elan, ohne im Ausdruck auch nur vorübergehend aus der Rolle zu fallen. So ist diese Zusammenstellung ein vielversprechender Beginn im iberischen Naxos-Katalog."-
