The composer says: Several musical threads led to my writing this piece of music to celebrate my friend Matanya Ophee's (AKA MO) 80th birthday - a life lived with the guitar. Jelly Roll Morton once asserted: 'In fact, if you can't manage to put tinges of Spanish in your tunes, you will never be able to get the right seasoning; I call it, for jazz.' Over the last couple of years I moved back to Jelly Roll Morton's city: New Orleans, home of my adolescence and reacquainted myself with the tinges of Spanish in its rich musical heritage. One of these pieces was the Mardi Gras Mambo, an iconic song frequently played during Mardi Gras and, in David Newman's reworking of the lyrics, at the New Orleans Saints football games as the Super Bowl Mambo. Uncited sources on both Wikipedia and Essortment say the word Mambo means 'conversation with the gods' in Kikongo, the language spoken by Central African slaves taken to Cuba where it became the name for a musical form and a dance style that developed originally in Cuba in the able hands of Cachao's (Bassist Orestes Lopez) tune: Danzon Mambo. This rhythmic style became famous in the 1950's following its use in dance bands in Mexico and through New Orleans to the United States. The infectiousness of the New Orleans re-interpretation of the Mambo's ostinato bass line and the reaction of people who are readily moved to dance when they hear it spoke to me of dance and celebration. This led me to choose some of this piece's characteristics and title for this piece: Mambo for MO. As we have progressed on the instrument, some of us may have encountered the four-chord descending minor chord progression known as the Andalusian cadence: i - VII - VI - V in many different genres and guises. After all, it appears in Ray Charles' Hit the Road, Jack, the verse on Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys, Walk, Don't Run by The Ventures, Runaway by Del Shannon and in that great work arranged and embraced by the Guitar: J.S. Bach's Chaconne from the Partita in D minor for solo violin, BWV 1004. This bass line derived from a Latin American musical style as reinterpreted in New Orleans, a chord progression that evokes the Flamenco Music of Spain, and my impressions of the sinuous lines of people dancing the Second Line in the streets of New Orleans at Mardi Gras led me to this synthesis as a tribute to a man who has contributed so much in his lifelong efforts for the guitar, its history and lore on the occasion of his birthday! Happy Birthday, Matanya! Carlos Barrientos was born on June 25, 1954 in Tela, Honduras. He began his formal music studies at the National Music Conservatory in Guatemala City, Guatemala C.A.

The composer says: For years, my fellow guitarists have been asking me to compose a solo classical guitar piece that reflects that most American of musical styles'the blues. Their prodding was the motivation for Periwinkle Memories; the inspiration for the piece, however, really came from a maestro of extraordinary skill, and a teacher of even more extraordinary patience, Elias Barreiro, my guitar teacher at the University of New Orleans. I have always tried to emulate in my performances the beauty of his interpretations, and to fuse in my compositions the power and emotion of the blues. The name, Periwinkle Memories was a serendipity. I was struck by the light purplish-blue hue of the periwinkle, and soon learned the history of the funnel-shaped flower (Vinca minor.) Though it now grows wild in parts of the United States it is native to Australia, some consider it an invasive weed, most admire its extraordinary beauty. Common herbicides won't kill it. The periwinkle is too vigorous and hardy for that. And now it is not merely a begrudged part of the American landscape, it is a vibrant part of the American landscape, elegant, stubborn, and nearly native. Like the blues. And like that young recalcitrant student Maestro Barreiro worked so hard to mold so many years ago. Ogden Nash said, 'One man's remorse is another man's reminiscence.' Periwinkle Memories is a celebration of Maestro Barreiro, and of both facets of that adage in me. Carlos Barrientos was born on June 25, 1954 in Tela, Honduras.

The title of Julian Anderson's first piece for guitar refers to a painting by Joan Miró in which the dominant element is a vivid blue. Fragments of objects can be detected: guitar strings, the orange of a Catalan barretina, a smoking pipe. It is the elemental quality of the painting that Anderson was drawn to in writing Catalan Peasant with Guitar. This piece is part of a series of three pieces by Anderson relating to the colour blue (though not musically related), beginning with his violin concerto, In lieblicher Bläue, and ending with Van Gogh Blue. / Guitare

Par LHOYER ANTOINE DE. Antoine de Lhoyer 1768-1852 Collection pour la guitare proposée par le duo Spinosi La vie d'Antoine de Lhoyer est un véritable roman dont la guitare reste le personnage central. Ce compositeur, guitariste, Chevalier de Saint-Louis et de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem, Garde de la Manche du Roi, nous a légué des chefs-d'?uvre longtemps restés dans l'obscurité des bibliothèques. La présente édition s'attache à vous en livrer les plus belles pages. La première édition connue de ce concerto fut publiée par Böhme, à Hambourg, en 1802.

Ce concerto fut recréé en 2001 à Brest avec l'Ensemble Matheus (dirigé par Jean-Christophe Spinosi). Après l'avoir joué de très nombreuses fois en France et en Espagne, puis enregistré, j'invite tous les guitaristes à partager mon enthousiasme, ma joie et ma passion pour cette ?uvre superbe.

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 ').

Par CORDERO ERNESTO. Concierto Festivo du Cordero, pour guitare et orchestre à cordes, est son plus récent ouvrage, écrit en 2003. Il a été commandé par l'Université de Porto Rico, pour célébrer le 100e anniversaire de sa fondation et la réouverture de son théâtre.

Ernesto Cordero explore créative les ressources sonores de la guitare, il offre une fonctionnalité solo virtuose enrichie par les dialogues avec les autres instruments. Dans plusieurs sections lyriques de la pièce, les projets et brille de guitare romantique spirit, par le biais de belles phrases qui reflètent la passion du Cordero pour la vie et pour sa bien-aimée de Porto Rico. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Contemporary - Chamber / Recueil / Guitare Classique et Orchestre
