Jamaica is an island in the Caribbean.
In 1494 it was discovered by Christopher Columbus, who used it as private property until 1509. After some skirmishes it fell under British rule and the sugar trade on the island flourished.
After the abolition of slavery in 1834 it was only granted Home Rule in 1944, but it remained a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations.

Whereas the export of cane sugar used to be Jamaica’s main export product for many years, nowadays music has taken over this role. At first American music used to be very popular on the island. Later, however, Jamaican musicians started to experiment and thus in the end created their ownmusical style called Reggae.
Well-known Reggae musicians are Bob Marley and Peter Tosh.

The most important instruments used in Reggae are the bass and the drums. Together they form the base for the style: the riddim. A bass drum accent on the second and fourth beat are characteristic of a typically reggae drum beat. To this syncopic patterns are often added. The rhythm guitarist plays chords in a characteristic Reggae rhythm, not on, but between the beats.

Jamaica is een eiland in het Caribisch-gebied.
Het werd in 1494 ontdekt door Christoffel Columbus, die het tot 1509 als privé-eiland gebruikte. Na enige schermutselingen viel het onder Britse heerschappij en bloeide de suikerhandel.Na afschaffing van de slavernij in 1834 kreeg het uiteindelijk pas in 1944 volledig zelfbestuur. Jamaica is lid van het Britse Gemenebest.

Jaren na de suikerexport is op dit moment de muziek misschien wel het bekendsteexportproduct.
Eerst was de Amerikaanse muziek erg populair op het eiland. Later begonnen de Jamaicaanse muzikanten zelf te experimenteren en ontstond uiteindelijk de Reggae.
Bekende reggea artiesten zijn Bob Marleyen Peter Tosh.

De belangrijkste instrumenten bij reggae zijn de bas en de drums. Samen leggen zij de basis voor de stijl neer. de riddim. Een bassdrum-accent op de tweede en de vierde tel, in plaats van de eerste enderde, zijn kenmerkend voor een typisch reggae-drumritme. Dit wordt vaak aangevuld met syncopische patronen. De slag-gitarist speelt de akkoorden in de kenmerkende reggaeslag, niet op maar tussen de tellen.

Nico Muhly's It Remains To Be Seen was written in 2006 for for full Orchestra and has a duration of approximately 9 minutes. This work was originally written for the Boston University Tanglewood Institute''s 40th Anniversary Gala in July 2006. The piece begins with a chord identical to the one at the end of Stravinsky''s Firebird suite and proceeds into a series of charged nocturnal episodes. The piece is a nine-minute navigation of an excited, occasionally illuminated, dark road filled with arguing, cars, fragments of remembered music, and a constant, propulsive pulse.

Emilio Calandin: Piccola sfumatura
Claudia Montero: Lagrimas de Buenos Aires
Marco Reghezza: Como Preludio
Marco Smaili: Preludio
Alessandro Spazzoli: Preludio in Do maggiore
Roberto Tagliamacco: Prelude sur le nom de Tarrega
Paolo Ugoletti: Prelude sur le nom de Tarrega

Having been invited several times onto the jury of the prestigious Certamen Tarrega in Benicasim, I thought I would involve a few composers in a gift to the father of the modern guitar. So I asked the composers to write a Prelude of the kind that Tarrega wrote and which count among his most significant compositions.
These Preludes for Tarrega, all written between August and November 2015, are very different from each other. The common feature, however, between these and the Preludes by Tarrega is their brevity, an average level of performance difficulty and guaranteed easy listening, even when written in a non-tonal language (like the meditative and melancholy piece by Emilio Calandin and the one by Marco Smaili, with its Impressionistic feel reminding one of Tarrega's most famous pupil, Miguel Llobet).
In some Preludes (the ones by Paolo Ugoletti, Roberto Tagliamacco, Claudia Montero) the reference to Lagrima, one of Tarrega's most famous Preludes, is evident in form, title and some citations. Ugoletti and Tagliamacco work well and expressively on harmony and counterpoint, while the Argentinian Claudia Montero links Tarrega to a heartbreaking Buenos Aires...
In Alessandro Spazzoli there is rather more a connection with Tarrega's sense of melody and deep simplicity, while Marco Reghezza remembers ironically what was brewing in European music when Tarrega was alive: in fact, his Como Preludio goes across the 24 keys - and even a reference to Wagner's Tristan raises its head...
I am delighted for this volume to come out at the time of the fiftieth edition of the Certamen Tarrega.
(Piero Bonaguri).
