on a Theme of Tarrega by Agustin Barrios MangoreThis piece dated in 1939 is one of Barrios masterpieces. It is in the theme and variations form, which in my opinion is the most difficult for a composer, because he has to release a great amount of creativity to "talk" about a theme during a long period of time. Fine examples are Bach's Chaconne and Goldberg Variations and Beethoven's Diabelli Variations.<br /><br />The main theme is Lágrima by Tárrega. Barrios uses all the techniques possible on the guitar in the six variations that follow the main theme.<ul><li><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/4/9/968548/Barrios/Sheet%20music/variationstarrega.pdf">Sheet Music in PDF</a><br /></li><li><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/4/9/968548/Barrios/Midi/Variations%20on%20a%20Theme%20of%20Tarrega.mid">MIDI</a></li></ul>Pablo Javier Antuñahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04095634124221758221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572261343145922961.post-5074738202718590872009-03-20T15:10:00.000-07:002009-03-20T15:11:35.054-07:00Vals Op. 8 No. 4 by Agustin Barrios MangoreOne of Barrios most played pieces.

It was first called Souvenir de un réve. Barrios later renamed it during his Nitsuga Mangore period. Barrios in this piece used a special guitar made for him with 20 frets that allowed to play a high C. This was unheard of prior to this time.<ul><li><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/4/9/968548/Barrios/Sheet%20music/unsuenoenlafloresta.pdf">Sheet Music in PDF</a><br /></li><li><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/4/9/968548/Barrios/Midi/Un%20Sue%A4o%20En%20La%20Floresta.mid">MIDI</a></li></ul>Pablo Javier Antuñahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04095634124221758221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572261343145922961.post-23486383988202732702009-03-20T15:00:00.000-07:002009-03-20T15:03:48.262-07:00Una Limosna por el Amor de Dios by Agustin Barrios MangoreA famous piece by Barrios. Also his last composition. It shows the artist completely mature, with complete control of the tremolo technique (which he had long time ago) and composition.<br /><br />There seems to be some confusion about the name of this piece, some call it this way (an alm for the love of God), "The last tremolo" and I even heard John Williams call this piece "The last song".<br /><br />I had the chance to know the opinion of Luz Maria Bobadilla, a Paraguayan guitarist that contacted one of Barrios' pupils in El Salvador. This pupil said that Barrios didn't give this piece a name. He recalls that one day his teacher called him and said that he was working on a new piece, a "great tremolo". He called this piece "The Great Tremolo", and the name An Alm for the love of God was added later by other person.<ul><li><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/4/9/968548/Barrios/Sheet%20music/una-limosna.pdf">Sheet Music in PDF</a><br /></li><li><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/4/9/968548/Barrios/Midi/Una%20Limosna%20por%20el%20Amor%20de%20Dios%20%28Gran%20Tremolo%29%20.mid">MIDI</a></li></ul>Pablo Javier Antuñahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04095634124221758221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572261343145922961.post-19683187620161790272009-03-20T14:59:00.000-07:002009-03-20T15:04:25.795-07:00Tua Imagem by Agustin Barrios MangoreThis is a vals with a title in Portuguese.

As it is a homage to my musical "idol", Bach, of whom Barrios said "he elevates us to the eternal".<br /><br />This piece is modeled after the Baroque prelude. He made use of inverted pedal points, that is, sutained notes over which are played other notes and chords. If you ever heard the Toccata and fugue in D minor you would know what I'm talking about. <ul><li><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/4/9/968548/Barrios/Sheet%20music/preludiogminor.pdf">Sheet Music in PDF</a><br /></li><li><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/4/9/968548/Barrios/Midi/Preludio%20en%20sol%20menor%20%28G%20minor%29.mid">MIDI</a></li></ul>Pablo Javier Antuñahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04095634124221758221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572261343145922961.post-31551698888564522592009-03-20T14:42:00.000-07:002009-03-20T14:43:45.420-07:00Pericon by Agustin Barrios MangoreThe Pericon is an Uruguayan dance that is also heard in Argentina.

The traduction for this would be "Prayer for everyone". Not as notable as the previous one, but coming from the Maestro it is nevertheless a beautiful piece.

I also consider it one of the most difficult.<br /><br />It was composed around 1919 and I don't know much about it. I think it was also composed for a woman. <ul><li><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/4/9/968548/Barrios/Sheet%20music/mazurka-appasionata.pdf">Sheet Music in PDF</a><br /></li><li><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/4/9/968548/Barrios/Midi/Leyenda%20de%20Espana%20%28%20Spanish%20Legend%20%29.mid">MIDI</a></li></ul>Pablo Javier Antuñahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04095634124221758221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572261343145922961.post-6718323054691891002009-03-02T13:26:00.000-08:002009-03-02T13:28:02.235-08:00Leyenda de Espana by Agustin Barrios MangoreAnother “spanish piece”, together with Capricho Español. This is one of my favorite compositions by Barrios. It has everything, technical complexity, emotion and that special Spanish feeling. He was very influenced by Tárrega’s transcriptions of Albéniz’s music.<ul><li><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/4/9/968548/Barrios/Sheet%20music/leyendaespana.pdf">Sheet Music in PDF</a><br /></li><li><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/4/9/968548/Barrios/Midi/Leyenda%20de%20Espana%20%28%20Spanish%20Legend%20%29.mid">MIDI</a></li></ul>Pablo Javier Antuñahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04095634124221758221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572261343145922961.post-83598759120098986982009-03-02T13:19:00.000-08:002009-03-02T13:26:04.563-08:00La Catedral by Agustin Barrios MangoreThis is without doubt Barrios’ most played composition. The original work consisted of two movements: Andante Religioso and Allegro Solemne. Written around 1921.<br /><br />He was inspired by an experience he had entering the Cathedral of San José in Montevideo. The Andante with its broad chords represent his impressions of an organist playing Bach in the cathedral. The Allegro represent the sensation when he leaves the calm atmosphere of the cathedral. He enters into the street, the real world, where everyone is in a hurry and doesn’t have time to think. He represents this perfectly with incessant 16th note figures.<br /><br />The Preludio Saudade was written several years later, in 1938, in Havana, Cuba. He later decided to add it to La Catedral, I suppose to have a complete work in the “classical” vein.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1.

He wasn’t able to perform many concerts where he was, in Costa Rica. Francisco Salazar was a good friend that gave the Barrios a place to stay.<br /><br />He dedicated this piece to Francisco Salazar’s niece, Julia Martinez.<ul><li><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/4/9/968548/Barrios/Sheet%20music/juliaflorida.pdf">Sheet Music in PDF</a><br /></li><li><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/4/9/968548/Barrios/Midi/Julia%20Florida%20-%20Barcarola.mid">MIDI</a></li></ul>Pablo Javier Antuñahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04095634124221758221noreply@blogger.com0
