Romanza: Spanish Guitar

Composed, Played & Produced by Stan
Meet me,
Meet me there in silence, Heart & Soul
Endlessly without, without a goal…
Meet me, meet me there in silence, Heart & Soul
Endlessly without, without a goal…
Foundations last for ages
You lost control oh Heart and Soul
Existence last forever
A journey, that found hope…

Bastille & Gabrielle Aplin - Dreams

On the day Segovia died the printed music of El Noi de la Mare was found on his music stand. Originally a Catalonian Christmas Song, El Noi de la Mare has become a standard in the Classical Guitar repertoire. Performed by William Wilson (Facebook.com/wmwilsonguitar)

El Noi de la Mare

"dreaming" is an improvisation I recorded for two guitars. 


dreaming

Written, Played & Produced by StanLeonard.com
Lyrics:
Follow me, follow me, follow me, to that place we long to be
My precious one, my precious one, my precious one, release your heart before the day is done
Row row, row your boat, gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily merrily, life is but a dream.
To get there is easy, all you need is a quiet mind.
Everyone has a tale to tell,
a joke or even a magic spell.
Row row row your boat.


Life is but a dream

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".

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.
