In 1920, a Parisian magazine asked several leading composers to compose musical tributes to the famous French musician Claude Debussy, who had died in 1918. The great Spanish composer Manuel De Falla (1876-1946) wasone of them: having met Debussy in Paris, he had been heavily influenced by the French impressionists. His Homenaje (Homage) was his only work for solo Guitar, although it was arranged by the composer for soloPiano almost immediately. It is widely regarded as one of the masterpieces of early 20th century music - at only three minutes in length, it is often said it has twenty minutes' worth of music contained within it.

The Ritual Fire Dance by Manuel da Falla is taken from the ballet El amor brujo (The Bewitched Love) written in 1915. The work was influenced by a traditional dance used to worship the fire-god where the participants involved would jump or leap through fire.

Candela, a gypsy girl performs this Ritual Fire Dance causing a ghost to appear. She begins to dance with the ghost whirling faster and faster until the ghost is pulled into the fire, causing it to disappear.

This brilliant arrangement of about four and one half minutes is written for advanced performers.
