Vande Mataram [An Electribute]

Agustín Pío Barrios, was a Paraguayan classical guitarist and composer. Barrios is perhaps best known for his 1921 classical guitar piece, La Catedral, a work inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach, and widely considered to be Barrios' magnum opus. Julia Florida is one of my favorites to play...

This recording  was part of my very first studio production. I labeled it "affettuoso assai" and made copies on CompactCassettes, each one by hand !  During the following years I managed to sell 500 pieces during my first gigs and concerts and was enormously proud of it.

I have always been fascinated with classical music and arrangements. This is something I composed to show a little of that passion. This tune consists of several different guitar tracks that build melodies and harmonies and a bass track as well.

Bachianina

Written by Enrique Granados y Campiña (27 July 1867 – 24 March 1916). Played and Recorded by www.stanleonard.com

(Wiki) Granados was a Spanish Catalan pianist and composer of classical music. His music is in a uniquely Spanish style and, as such, representative of musical nationalism. Enrique Granados was also a talented painter in the style of Francisco Goya.

The delay incurred by accepting the recital invitation caused him to miss his boat back to Spain. Instead, he took a ship to England, where he boarded the passenger ferry Sussex for Dieppe, France. On the way across the English Channel, the Sussex was torpedoed by a German U-boat, as part of the German World War I policy of unrestricted submarine warfare. In a failed attempt to save his wife Amparo, whom he saw flailing about in the water some distance away, Granados jumped out of his lifeboat, and drowned. Ironically, he had a morbid fear of water for his entire life, and he was returning from his first-ever series of ocean voyages. Ironically too, the ship broke in two parts and only one sank (along with 80 passengers); the other part of the ship where his cabin was did not sink and was towed to port, with most of the passengers on board. Granados and his wife left six children: Eduard (a musician), Solita, Enric (a swimming champion), Víctor, Natàlia, and Francesc.

Written by Francisco Tarrega (21 November 1852 – 15 December 1909). Played and recorded by myself. 
(Wiki) Tarrega was an influential Spanish composer and guitarist of the Romantic period.
Francisco Tárrega's music and style of guitar playing became strongly influential in the twentieth century. He was central to reviving the guitar as a solo instrument in recital and concerts. His output was modest, having composed only 78 original scores and 120 transcriptions - mostly for his own use. Among his most popular works for the guitar are Recuerdos de la Alhambra, Capricho Árabe and Danza Mora.

He is also the composer of what has been claimed to be "probably the world's most heard tune": the Nokia ringtone, Nokia tune, or simply Nokia, also used in advertising spots, is based on Tárrega's Gran Vals. His music also inspired Mike Oldfield to arrange Tárrega's tremolo study Recuerdos de la Alhambra for the soundtrack of the film "The Killing Fields".

Capricho Arabe

"E" minor love theme ( Angel Fargas )

Absorbed by our daily thoughts, it's sometime hard to stay connected with our inner self,
being conscience of our body and feeling the flow of nature.
Never forget 65% of our body is water.
Feel the flow my friend....

I tell my stories through my own composed (and improvised) instrumental guitar music, using a combination of acoustic guitars, sometimes supported by orchestral instruments. Some have described my music as meditative, relaxing, and introspective, with a touch of melancholia and a distinctly Spanish flair. Listen for yourself and let me know what stories my music tells you.
