Phillip Sear plays an evocation of nights in the Alhambra palace in Granada, by the Spanish composer "Juan Carlos".

#5 from '6 Piezas características' (1912)

I can tell you very little about the composer of this piece, except that "Juan Carlos" was a pseudonym for the Spanish zarzuela composer Manuel González López, who was active in the first years of the 20th century, and had a few works published under the name "J. Carlos" by the Madrid publisher Sociedad Anónima Casa Dotésio.  This definitely has the feel of a piece written by an operetta composer, but is evocative in its own way.
