Commissioned by the 1974 City of London Festival. premiered by Julian Bream and the English Chamber Orchestra.This is the piano reduction score.

This concerto a new addition to the literature for guitar and orchestra casts the guitar almost as a member of the percussion family from the very beginning explosive in its energy easing into song for its secondtheme.An extensive cadenza takes the soloist to the highest note before plunging into an appropriately hectic ending. A simple (but all the more telling) guitar solo opens and closes the middle movement a nocturne withanother extended cadenza. The movement starts in meditation grows into a broad chorale-like melody and moves into rage before the orchestra intervenes to return to the calm of the beginning. The boisterous and carefree flavourof the last movement sketched while on holiday in Antigua during Carnival gives the concerto its nickname.This riotous and exuberant finale generates an irresistible rumba bringing together themes first heard at thevery beginning of the work particularly the rasqueado strumming and the tamburo percussive effects. The moods and flavour of the Caribbean are very acutely captured not in a tourist photograph but in an obviously loving spiritual portrait.????????????Eduardo?Fern?ndezThe Guitar Concerto ?Caribbean? has been recorded by Eduardo Fern?ndez withthe English Chamber Orchestra conducted by Barry Wordsworth.

Par CORDERO ERNESTO. Ce concerto pour guitare et orchestre a été composé par Ernesto Cordero, un des compositeurs contemporains exceptionnelles de Porto Rico. Le premier mouvement de pastorale dépeint le paysage idyllique d'antillais à l'aide d'une combinaison d'influences continentales d'espagnol et antillais espagnol créole, qui sont plus perceptible dans la cadence luxuriante et romantique. Le second mouvement se distingue par l'alternance de deux mélodies : one, une mélodie mélangeant un certain nombre d'influences antiques et le second distinctement cubaine dans la nature. Ce mouvement a été inspiré par le calme de l'été pacifiques de la mer des Antilles. Le troisième mouvement est le seul dans le travail pour dessiner directement sur le folklore portoricain, citant un fragment de la milonga seis, une danse traditionnelle. Cet extrait est Uni dans ce mouvement avec son homologue argentin familier. Le dernier mouvement est le mouvement plus difficile des trois pour le soliste de guitare, exigeant une performance presque virtuose. 16 pages de grand format (13,75 ' x 10,25 ').
