Volume four of the Paraguayan guitar virtuoso's complete works as arranged by Richard D. Stover.

In the music of Agustin Barrios Mangore we find truly inspired creativity combined with a total technical dominio of the guitar's harmonic capabilities. His knowledge of harmonic science enabled hi to compose in several styles: baroque classic romantic and descriptive. He composed preludes studies suites waltzes mazurkas taratellas and romanzas as well as many onomatopoetic works describing physical objects or historical/cultural themes. One can appreciate in Barrios Mangore a logical expansion of techniques defined by masters such as Sor and Tarrega carried to an even higher level of expressiveness and technical expertise. The legacy of his genius is a priceless onefor all lovers of the guitar. Richard Stover

Agustin Pio Barrios Ferreyra, a Paraguayan composer and guitarist, is nowadays known as the creator of the Mangorean or Indo-American school of the Guitar. ?The name, Mangoré, was adopted in honor of the great chieftain Mangoré, an important personage of the Paraguayan jungles?.Mangoré used for his works popular folkloristic themes of South America as well as sounds of nature (?the still waters of [?] the Amazon?, ?the song of the birds?). But Magnoré also was inspired by European music: He composed gavottes, minuets and waltzes: ?It was in J.S.Bach where Barrios discovered the source of his universality [?]?.Admired by many but despised by more was his way of stringing his guitar: ?[?] the way he attacked the strings with the fingers sideward, with very little use of the fingernails?. He also invented some kind of a muffler: He put ?small balls of rubber on the Pirastro steel string?. Jesus Benites R. who collected Magnoré?s works for this edition says about him: ?Magnore is the genius of South America?. He was a strong influence for many composers and musicians, such as Heitor Villa-Lobos, Manuel Ponce and Andres Segovia. Vol. 1 of this 4 book collection contains 23 pieces, including Chôro da saudade, Danza Paraguaya, La Catedral and Madrigal (Gavota).

Containing 18 concert pieces by Agust n Barrios-Mangoré this edition is the result of listening to sound recordings of the composer and of the experience of the arranger R. Burley with this music in concert performances.
