Cumbees - Marizapalos - La Jotta. Par MURCIA SANTIAGO DE. The dances and sets of variations published in this volume come from the Codice Saldívar, a manuscript that was discovered by the Mexican musicologist Dr. Gabriel Saldívar y Silva in León (Mexico) in 1943. Although the title page of the manuscript is missing, we can assume with great certainty that it is the work of Santiago de Murcia. The manuscript dates from around 1732 and the handwriting, paper format and watermark are the same as those from another work by de Murcia. This collection demonstrates de Murcia's interest in a wide range of music for guitar and, like many other Spanish composers, the inspiration he found in the new sounds and rhythms brought home by the Spanish seafarers. The result is a rich and colourful feast of the baroque guitar repertoire./ Recueil / Guitare

Par KOONCE FRANK. A substantial amount of early music for the guitar remains unknown to modern performers and audiences. In recent years, however, musicologists, scholars and performers on period instruments have provided a wealth of accessible new source materials which players can now begin to interpret in convincing and effective ways. Nevertheless, many still feel intimidated by the prospect of sorting through and learning to use these resources for the first time. For the uninitiated, just knowing where to start can be difficult. This anthology contains representative selections from the publications and manuscripts of four important Spanish Baroque guitarists: Gaspar Sanz, Antonio de Santa Cruz, Francisco Guerau, and Santiago de Murcia. In addition to being fun and entertaining music for all to enjoy, this collection is intended to help bridge the gap between scholarly editions and performance editions by providing a hands-on introduction to tablature transcription and to issues concerning historically informed performance on the modern guitar. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Baroque - Solos / Tablatures / Guitare Tablatures Classique
