Nueva
edicion de la coleccion
Lenguaje Musical de Felix
Sierra que abarca los 4
cursos de Grado Elemental
y 2 de Grado Medio. Cada
curso consta de dos
volumenes: A y B. En esta
nueva edicion se han
ampliado el numero de
ejercicios dedicados,
tanto ala formacion
ritmica y de lectura de
notas-escasa en la
edicion original-, como a
la entonacion de
melodias. Los ejercicios
de entonacion incluyen un
sencillo acompanamiento
pianistico, con el que se
pretende un triple
objetivo: facilitar su
estudioestabilizando la
afinacion, ayudar a la
interiorizacion de las
funciones armonicas y
aproximarlos a esa musica
que, como se ha dicho con
fina ironia, tambien
existe fuera de los
conservatorios. No se
trata, con ellos, de
descifrar una partitura.
Apesar de lo limitado de
los medios empleados, se
puede -y se debe-
realizar con estas piezas
en miniatura una labor
artistica. El CD que se
incluye con el libro,
aunque nunca puede suplir
al profesor, si que, al
menos en parte, cumple
esta funcion.Otra novedad
la constituye la
inclusion del arreglo
para instrumentos
escolares de una de las
canciones con que se
inicia cada unidad
didactica, canciones que
siguen siendo la materia
principal que se
desarrolla en el resto de
la unidad. Canciones
ymelodias a una y dos
voces con acompanamiento
de piano, ejercicios de
ritmo y lectura de notas,
percusion corporal,
pequenas obras escritas
para instrumentos de
laminas, nociones de
teoria, juegos musicales,
practica de la
improvisacion y la
creacionmusical... y todo
ello con un riguroso
planteamiento didactico
en el que la armonia es
el eje vertebrador de
todas las actividades que
se proponen. Ayudar a
descubrir el apasionante
mundo musical debe de
ser, a juicio del autor,
la tarea principal
delmaestro de musica.
Esperamos con estos
libros, favorecer esta
dificil labor. Lenguaje
Musical, Lecciones De
Entonacion y Educacion
Audivita son las
colecciones de Felix
Sierra que contemplan la
ensenanza del lenguaje
musical. En un ambito de
decima(LA a DO) y
tratando de que se
interiorice la modalidad,
se trabajan en este
cuaderno las tonalidades
de DO, mayor y menor y
LA, menor y mayor. Ademas
de las figuras
presentadas en el
cuaderno anterior, en
este se incluyen la
semicorchea y lasincopa,
el compas de seis por
ocho, la clave de FA y se
sigue trabajando con las
funciones armonicas
basicas: tonica,
dominante y
subdominante.

The goal
of Modal Jazz Composition
& Harmony, Volume 2 is to
continue the
dissemination of
information that presents
a path of study for the
aspiring jazz composer.
Where Volume 1 of the
book emphasized the
preparation of a modal
harmonic foundation, this
volume will introduce
concepts of melody
writing and a study of
the styles of jazz
compositions that are an
intrinsic addition to the
contemporary jazz
composer's repertoire.
Also included are
chapters on harmonization
and reharmonization
techniques---as many of
the concepts presented
reflect an influence of
Gil Evans, Duke Ellington
and Charles Mingus as
well as those of Herbie
Hancock---and on
pentatonic tunes that are
harmonized with a modal
harmonic foundation. As
with Volume 1, an
appendix with additional
peripheral information is
included for the student
desiring theoretical
explanation and
additional examples.

ish comments:
Empuries is the result of
the interest Ruera showed
throughout his life for
the culture and music of
ancient Greece. As he
himself writes in the
introduction to the
composition: The motives
behind this work were
inspired by contemplating
and analysing the melos
of ancient Greece. The
few melodies that have
been discovered from
those far-off times
inspired the composer of
Empuries to create this
work, conceived with the
Greek modal system in
mind, and adapted to
modern instruments and
tastes. The tetrachord
and pentachords of these
forms are the very bases
of this work. The
descending drift of the
cadence, the harmonic
priority of the upper and
lower notes of the
tetrachords and the
displacement of these
chords to different
acoustic levels, make it
impossible to specify the
classic concept of a set
tonality which, within
the improvised musical
working of the piece,
leads to a naturally
intertonal or atonal
piece of music. Empuries
came to light in 1971,
when it won group A of
the Ciutat de Barcelona
prize. But one must, in
fact, go back to the
1930s to find its true
origins. Ruera made his
first foray into the
theme of ancient Greece
with the sardana,
Empuries, la grega, with
which he won first prize
in the Jocs Florals in
Girona, in 1931. Shortly
afterwards, he wrote a
piece of organ music
entitled Bucolics, in the
Greek modal style, which
was destroyed during the
Spanish civil war. Ruera
continued to work on the
theme and in 1936 he
presented his work Tres
moviments simfonics, for
a big band, inspired by
the ancient Greek modes,
at the XIV International
Festival of the ISCM held
in Barcelona. The work
was chosen to debut in
the festival's opening
concert on 19 April 1936
at Palacio de Bellas
Artes in Barcelona. In
1959, Ruera won the Pau
Casals Prize at the Jocs
Florals de la Llengua
Catalana, held at the
Sorbonne in Paris, for
his work, Empuries: poema
per a cobla i orquestra,
which would later become
the fourth movement of
Empuries. Nine years
later, in 1968, Barcelona
City Orchestra, conducted
by Antoni Ros Marba, gave
the first ever
performance of the
symphonic poem Pastoral,
written to be the first
movement of Empuries, in
Granollers. The final
step was when he finally
completed the work, won
the Ciutat de Barcelona
prize, opened in
Granollers on 2 May 1976
and recorded it for the
Columbia de Barcelona
label in 1977. Anna Maria

Comentario
s del Espanol: La
obra Empuries es fruto
del interes que el
maestro Ruera demostro a
lo largo de su vida por
la cultura y la musica de
la antigua Grecia. Como
el mismo escribe en la
cabecera de la
composicion: Los motivos
generadores de esta obra
estan inspirados en la
contemplacion y en el
analisis del melos de la
antigua Grecia. Las pocas
melodias que hasta el
momento se han podido
descubrir de aquellos
tiempos remotos sugieren
al autor de Empuries la
realizacion de esta obra,
concebida pensando en el
sistema modal griego,
adaptado a los
instrumentos y gustos
modernos. Los tetracordes
y pentacordes de dichas
modalidades son las
celulas en las que se
basa la obra. El sentido
descendiente de la
cadencia, la prioridad
armonica de la notas
extremas de los
tetracordes y el
desplazamiento de estos
acordes a varias alturas
acusticas, hacen que no
sea posible precisar el
clasico concepto de una
tonalidad determinada y
que lleven, dentro del
funcionamiento
contrapuntistico, a una
musica naturalmente
intertonal o atonal.
Empuries vio la luz en el
ano 1971, ganando el
Premio Ciutat de
Barcelona, grupo A, pero
en realidad tenemos que
retroceder hasta los anos
30 para encontrar sus
verdaderos origenes. La
primera incursion en el
tema de la antigua Gracia
la hizo con la sardana
Empuries, la grega, con
la que gano el primer
premio en los Jocs
Florals de Gerona del ano
1931. Poco despues
escribio una pieza para
organo titulada Bucolics,
en el estilo modal
griego, que fue destruida
durante la Guerra Civil
espanola. Ruera continuo
trabajando en el tema y
en el ano 1936 presento
su obra Tres moviments
simfonics, en version
para gran banda,
inspirada en las antiguas
modalidades griegas, en
el XIV Festival
Internacional de la SIMC
que se celebro en
Barcelona. La obra fue
escogida para ser
estrenada en el concierto
inaugural de dicho
festival, el 19 de abril
de 1936, en el Palacio de
Bellas Artes de
Barcelona. En el 1959,
Ruera gano el Premio Pau
Casals en los Jocs
Florals de la Llengua
Catalana celebrados en la
Sorbona de Paris con la
obra Empuries: poema per
a cobla i orquestra, que
sera con el paso del
tiempo el cuarto
movimiento de Empuries.
Nueve anos mas tarde, en
1968, la Orquestra Ciutat
de Barcelona, bajo la
direccion de Antoni Ros
Marba, interpreto en
Granollers la primera
audicion del poema
sinfonico Pastoral,
pensado como primer
movimiento de Empuries.
El ultimo eslabon fue
terminar definitivamente
la obra, ganar el Premio
Ciutat de Barcelona,
estrenarla en Granollers
el 2 de mayo de 1976 y
grabarla para la casa
discografica Columbia de
Barcelona, en 1977.
