Homages for guitar (composer Alessandro Spazzoli. Editor Piero Bonaguri) (original) (raw)

2019, Homages

Preface Alessandro Spazzoli is proving to be one of today’s composers who is not a guitarist but who is most interested in the guitar – and also one of the most versatile... and sensitive to my requests! These tributes to various composers, whose anniversaries are celebrated in 2019, arise as an answer to my suggestions to the Composer: Sinfonia (Homage to Haydn) was written in 2017 starting from the possibility of my performing the piece, planned (and then put into practice) in 2019 in Eisenstadt, a city where Haydn lived and worked for many years in the castle belonging to the Esterhazy family. The year of composition of the piece inspired Alessandro also to remember Prokofiev and his Classical Symphony (written 100 years before). A more recent composition is Elegía (Homage to Villa-Lobos) where the Composer plunges us into the romantic mood saturated in saudade which is so typical of the vast production of this brilliant Brasilian musician, a Composer – like Rodrigo – to whom not only guitarists owe so much. Even more recent is another short tribute by Spazzoli (after other pieces already published in this series) to Joaquín Rodrigo: in this case the Composer has complied with my marked preference for a piece contained in the Album for Cecilia by Rodrigo, which became the thematic idea for this new piece. I am grateful and delighted to have been the intermediary for these new compositional engagements by Alessandro Spazzoli, which make up as many ample possibilities to enrich the guitar repertoire (and also for his most useful anchorage in a universally famous musical production), and I wish these pieces all the luck they deserve.

Música para voz y guitarra clásico-romántica de Mauro Giuliani

Se presentan las Notas al programa escritas para el cuadernillo anexo al disco Quando sará quel dì. Música para voz y guitarra clásico-romántica del compositor italiano Mauro Giuliani (1781-1829); Ensamble Alfabeto (Andrés Silva, tenor; Julián Navarro, guitarra clásico-romántica). Mauro Giuliani fue quizás el más importante virtuoso intérprete y compositor de música para la guitarra de su tiempo. Junto a los españoles Fernando Sor y Dionisio Aguado, fue uno de los principales responsables de la aceptación de la guitarra como instrumento solista en el siglo xix. En las últimas décadas su trabajo ha empezado a ser de nuevo reconocido y afamado, y de alguna manera redescubierto y rescatado, gracias a numerosos conciertos en vivo y grabaciones discográficas. Giuliani dedicó un buen apartado de su extenso trabajo creativo al bello e interesante formato vocal. Esta es la primera grabación que incluye los cuatro ciclos de canciones Sei ariette, Op. 95; Sechs Lieder, Op. 89; Trois romances, Op. 13, y Sei cavatine, Op. 39, utilizando una guitarra clásico-romántica. Las piezas realizadas en este conjunto resaltan la versatilidad y capacidad de adaptación de un prodigioso y popular compositor. Presenta obras en tres idiomas (italiano, alemán y francés) que el compositor dominaba sin dificultad, usando textos de autor desconocido en francés e italiano, de famosos poetas alemanes y de Metastasio.

J. Rodrigo’s «Fantasia para un gentilehombre»: incarnation of baroque traditions of Spanish guitar music

The purpose of the work. The study is devoted to revealing the baroque traditions of the guitar music of the Spanish composer Gaspar Sanz in Joaquin Rodrigo’s «Fantasia para un gentilhombre». The research methodology is based on the use of phenomenological, comparative, structural-functional methods that provide more in-depth and versatile study of the chosen musical phenomenon. Scientific novelty of the study lies in the introduction of the well-known guitar opus of the Spanish composer of the 20th century into circulation of analytical musicology, as well as the involvement of baroque sources – the guitar music of Gaspar Sanz in the context of its contemporary artistic implementation. Conclusions. The conducted analytical experience reveals the semantic links of the guitar work with its original sources – baroque dances from the manuscript of G. Sanz (villano, ricercar, espanoleta, canarios and others). Their neoclassical restoration is recreated thanks to the methods of citing old dance tunes in new artistic-style conditions, as well as the use of national traditions of guitar playing. Keywords: Joaquin Rodrigo, Gaspar Sanz, baroque traditions, Spanish guitar music.
