Jhibaro RodrÃguez: Los diamantesEfraÃn Silva: Alirio DÃaz (Danza Zuliana)Francisco Zapata Bello: Cancioncilla. Serenata caracteristica (Homenaje a Alirio DÃaz)I welcome with great enthusiasm the publication of this collection of music by Venezuelan guitarist-composers. I am certain that my father would also have been happy, in that it shows the productiveness and continuity of the Venezuelan school of composition, ever careful as to its own individuality while adhering to the canons of so-called cultured music.My thanks go to Maestro Piero Bonaguri who, with devotion and gratitude towards one of his teachers (whose birth centenary occurs in 2023), has completed this important work aimed at spreading the new Venezuelan musical heritage, and I also thank all the composers who, with great commitment, have wished to honour their fellow citizen: Alirio.(Senio Diaz)I am very happy with the release of this anthology of pieces written in homage to the great guitarist Alirio DÃaz in the contemporary music series that I manage.For many years I attended his summer courses, in Italy and abroad, and meeting Maestro DÃaz, who over time also honoured me with his friendship, was fundamental for my education.I was also particularly pleased and honoured when he invited me to play with him in Venezuela, and then to have played, in the church of the Artists in Rome, on the sad occasion of his funeral.The pieces in this volume, which by happy coincidence comes out near the hundredth anniversary of the birth of the great guitarist, were written by composers who are also guitarists and demonstrate that impressive integration in the repertoire of the cultivated guitar of themes and colours of Venezuelan folk music, which is one of the fundamental artistic contributions of Alirio DÃaz, who wrote that folk music is as important and cultivated as cultivated music itself.(Piero Bonaguri).

Gian Paolo Luppi: AlcorMarco Reghezza: Fuga DodecatonaleAlessandro Spazzoli: Sarabanda all'albaRoberto Tagliamacco: Concerto per la notte di CorelliIn 2013, to celebrate the second centenary of the death of Arcangelo Corelli, I played in an official concert held in his memory in Fusignano, his hometown. Corelli did not write for the guitar, but a few of his compositions were transcribed by some contemporary guitarist and certainly his name has always been associated in the history of music with the theme of the very famous <> (although the origins of this theme go back a long way before Corelli). In the guitar repertoire, well-known cycles of variations on this theme exist. My long history of friendship and working together with important Italian composers has made it possible for me to build a concert program with some new guitar compositions dedicated to Corelli, to which others have been added. They are all together in this anthology, with the exceptions of Corelliana by Davide Anzaghi, Per Arcangelo by Gilberto Cappelli and Corelliana Seconda by Paolo Ugoletti, published separately. The cover picture, specially created by Norma Lutzemberger for this publication, celebrates this meeting between the modern guitar and Arcangelo Corelli.(Piero Bonaguri)

 Revival is a long overdue resource that provides fresh accessible arrangements of classic hymns for contemporary ensembles. Each arrangement is scored for SAB choir, piano, guitar, and optional instrumental parts. For added texture, the final stanza of each hymn includes an alternate harmonization of the accompaniment with a soprano descant. These fourteen arrangements will open a whole new set of treasured hymns to piano and guitar based ensembles. Compatible with the versions founds in GIA’s most recent hymnals, each of these arrangements is intended to support and inspire the sung prayer of the assembly. Every one will find a comfortable home in your repertoire throughout the liturgical year! A special spiral bound edition of Revival is also available. This edition is perfect for accompanists who would also like to use these hymn arrangements as preludes, interludes, or postludes. Collections like Revival are not simply a way for contemporary ensembles to plant deeper roots and tap into more traditional repertoires. It is a way for all of us to hear old hymns with new ears, in a new way. --Fr. Anthony Ruff, OSB, Associate Professor of Theology at St. John's Abbey Quote from Pray Tell Blog. Click here to read full article Tony Alonso’s Revival offers us fourteen wonderfully arranged familiar hymns—musically accessible and a delight to sing. Flexibly crafted for voices, piano and guitar with lovely optional descants, this is an ecumenical gift and bridge-builder between classical and contemporary approaches to hymns in the liturgy. It should be in every parish’s working library. --Don Saliers, Professor of Theology and Worship at the Candler School of Theology In his new collection, Revival, Tony Alonso marks the 500th anniversary of a great divide in the church by bridging the chasm between Catholic and Protestant, contemporary and traditional, Appalachian and European. His arrangements for voices, piano, and guitar—with options for using other instruments as well—allow for improvisation and adaptation while remaining accessible for a wide range of musicians. Although these hymns are designed to be used by contemporary ensembles, they lend themselves to use in a variety of worshiping contexts. Alonso's arrangements will entice you to sing along--Revival is a great gift to the whole church! --Kimberly Bracken Long, Editor of Call to Worship: Liturgy, Music, Preaching, & the Arts Tony Alonso’s, Revival, is an invaluable resource to help find common ground among “contemporary†and “traditional†choirs and ensembles by making hymnody approachable to those who may have shied away from it for stylistic reasons. It is also a great educational tool for organists and pianists who are seeking ways to improve their improvisatory keyboard skills by modeling accompaniment styles and improvisatory patterns that support and enhance the singing of traditional hymns. ​--​Dominic Trumfio, Associate Director of Worship Music at Old St. Patrick's Church, Chicago.
