Joaquin Turina: El Poema De Una Sanluquena For Violin And Piano

A native of Seville, Joaquin Turina won local success before travelling to Madrid, where he met Manuel de Falla and was further influenced by the prevailing currents of musical nationalism.

Menendez: Ocho Estudios for Clarinet

Julian Menendez (1895-1975) was a Spanish Clarinet virtuoso who spent most of his life in Madrid, serving as principal clarinettist with both the Madrid Symphony Orchestra and the Madrid Symphonic Band, where he was highly regarded by both critics and peers. Ocho Estudios is a collection of eight Etudes for Clarinet with Piano accompaniment: Nocturno - Ballet - Danzarina - Recuerdo - Arabesco - Sueño - Minueto - Humoresca . They are lively and entertaining, and recommended for any advancing player who wishes to develop their repertoire. Menendez stretched the technical facility of his Clarinet playing to an extraordinary level while playing in the Symphonic Band, where the Clarinet often carried the melody. His compositions reflect this; he created works of technical and expressive prowess that is probably unmatched.

Sebastian Yradier: La Paloma Habanera

The classic La Paloma Habanera which was the source material for Bizet's Habanera from Carmen. Born on January 20, 1809 in Lanciego, in the province of Álava. His publisher in Paris urged him to universalize his name, from Iradier to Yradier. He is known primarily for his habaneras, especially the one titled La Paloma, written around 1860 after a visit to Cuba. La Paloma was extremely popular in both Spain and America (especially Mexico), where it was responsible for the great popularity achieved by the habanera. Another of Iradier's compositions is El Arreglito, an habanera used by Georges Bizet in his opera Carmen. Bizet, thinking it was a folk song, took the melody of El Arreglito and created what is known today as the Habanera from Carmen: the song L'amour est un oiseau rebelle

Romanza Sin Palabras : Homage to Enric Granados

Turina: La Oracion Del Torero

La Oracion del torrero para cuarteto de cuerda. In the pantheon of 20th century Spanish composers: I. Albeniz, M. De Falla, E. Granados, and the Catalan, F. Mompou, Joaquin Turina was the only one to devote a considerable part of his compositional talents to chamber music. Like each of the aforementioned composers, he lived, and studied music in Paris, where he was encouraged by the likes of D?Indy, Ravel, and Debussy. In this brief tone poem for string quartet, La Oración del Torero 'The Bullfighter?s Prayer', the influence of Debussy can be heard, especially in the use of lush descending parallel ninth chords. The influence of music of the Andalusian Gypsies is also quite evident. This piece became one of the composer?s most popular works, often performed in an arrangement for string orchestra.

Durward: To You And For You! for Piano

White Sonata

The subtitle refers to the child in all of us, regardless of age, who never wanted to grow up, but was forced to do so.With reference to the title of Peter Pan, the theme has to do with the shattered innocence of children who are subjected to abuse and decide to take refuge in themselves. Written around a lullaby, it refers to how to build aninner world to survive.

Fernando Sor: Variations On A Theme Of Mozart (Magic Flute)

A staple of the serious Guitar reportoire, Sor's Variations On A Theme Of Mozart is both beautiful to listen to and rewarding to play. Mozart's contribution is relatively minor, Sor having only made use of the basic melody from the theme of The Magic Flute as the basis of the piece; the work as a whole has to be attributed to Sor. It is testament not only to Sor's groundbreaking mastery of his own instrument, but also to his general musical genious; this with the brilliant simplicity and familiarity of a Mozart melody blended in.

Etude No. 1 - We Are The Forthcoming Past

The name came from the thought that unless all of us make something to help to build a better world, we will be remembered only as dust. Now all of us have access to what in the world is happening. Don’t be quiet. Don’t be silent.This work cycles around only two notes to show you how with a little thing you can give the most to others. It is also an etude to relax the arms when playing with octaves.

The two-act zarzuela Marina was premiered on September 21 1855 at Madrid's Teatro Circo. Despite a cool initial reception, many musicians could sense its popular potential. Gaztambide wrote to the poet López de Ayala:'Emilio's new zarzuela Marina is most outstanding; a true Spanish Opera sure to please the crowd; it will, I'm sure, be much liked'. Indeed it was, and when the tenor Enrico Tamberlick expressed a wish to play Jorge at the Teatro Real, Arrieta had no hesitation in agreeing to expand it into the through-written, 3-act form familiar today.

For the first time, this edition presents work for Guitar solo and for Guitar duet by Graciano Tarragó, grouped into different collections. Despite the fact that the composer published the set of works separately (with the exception of the collections of studies and the Catalan Christmas songs), it is not difficult to see that a natural classification surges from its formal structure, from its source of inspiration and from its intent upon observing the works as a whole.The main objective of this revision was to update its presentation to meet the demands of the Guitar world today and to offer scores that ease the introduction to the study of this copious collection of works. The works hold an indisputable musical beauty and demand technical virtuosic knowledge of the highest level.
