In 1920,
a Parisian magazine asked
several leading composers
to compose musical
tributes to the famous
French musician Claude
Debussy, who had died in
1918. The great Spanish
composer Manuel De
Falla (1876-1946)
wasone of them: having
met Debussy in Paris, he
had been heavily
influenced by the French
impressionists. His
Homenaje
(Homage) was his only
work for solo Guitar,
although it was arranged
by the composer for
soloPiano almost
immediately. It is widely
regarded as one of the
masterpieces of early
20th century music - at
only three minutes in
length, it is often said
it has twenty minutes'
worth of music contained
within it.
