I had been thinking that serialist composers were less interested in Lorca than those in the more French / Spanish camp, like Ohana. But maybe that is not true. There are Nono and Fortner, and Maderna, too...
A thesis about the use of atonal music for Lorca: it lends a certain tragic austerity, moving away from the folkloric, even when it incorporates folkloric music in a surreptitious way. Anyway, to a non-musicologist, the modernists who aren't serialists still sound more or less atonal.

I found out the Coltrane's "Olé" uses the melody from "El vito," a song associated with "Anda jaleo' in the song of the quinto regimiento.
