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.

English comments:
A work written in memory of Manuel de Falla in which the author tackles popular melodies and rhythms immersed in the orchestral fabric of the string section. A string section which, thanks to a wise and daring treatment, manages at all times to give a magical projection to the characteristic timbre of the guitar, a brilliant solo instrument.

Comentarios del Espanol:
Una obra escrita a la memoria de Manuel de Falla en la que el autor aborda melodias y ritmos populares inmersos en el tejido orquestal de la cuerda. Una cuerda que tratada con sabiduria y audacia consigue en todo momento dar una proyeccion magica al timbre caracteristico de la guitarra, brillante instrumento solista.
