Ajoutée par lrubarth, 09 Déc 2021 Some time ago my Peruvian friend Hugo asked me and Charlotte to record and upload a duet with the cello playing a melody and the charango playing a tremolo accompaniment. Without a doubt a great idea and I'm sure it would sound wonderful. Unfortunetly my tremolo skills are rather poor, but his request inspired me, and I came up with an idea. Classical guitar composers like Francisco Tárrega (1852-1909) and Agustín Barrios Mangoré (1885-1944) have composed several solo guitar pieces like the famous “Recuerdos de la Alhambra”. The accompaniment of these polyphonic pieces is played by the right hand thumb while the right hand index finger, ring finger and middle finger produce the melody by imitating the tremolo of the mandolin. By the use of the tremolo technique mandolin players imitate the melodic modulation characteristics of string instrument such as the violin or the cello, so I wondered how it would sound to rearrange one of these solo guitar tremolo pieces in the form of a cello and guitar duet. For this experiment I picked the lovely song “Canción de la hilandera” (Song of the spinner) by the great Paraguayan guitarist and composer Agustín Barrios Mangoré. Instead of just using broken chords for the accompaniment, Barrios composed a beautiful melody for the second voice which is interwoven with the main melody and a bass accompaniment like the thread of a spinner. The first voice of this duo arrangement can be played by various instruments like violin, cello, flute, and many others. |
