Prelude from The 4th Lute Suite by J. S. Bach
Переглядів 46714 днів тому
Link to my recording of the full suite ua-cam.com/video/yjztwITkZbc/v-deo.htmlsi=GvFZlnMe45UI4THS The opening piece to the BWV 1006a suite, one of Bach's best works. Originally for the lute, this work has been adapted to guitar and is a staple in the classical guitar repertoire canon. When I'm asked what my favorite song is, I usually answer with this piece.

"Una Limosna por el Amor de Dios" by Agustín Barrios

"An Alm for the Love of God" A tremolo piece by Agustín Barrios Mangoré. Technically speaking, it's a challenge as is the case with tremolo pieces. Musically it's absolutely brilliant; one of his most evocative and emotional pieces. It begins in the minor key and ends in the parallel major. Normally a recipe for a triumphant and glorious ending. But in this piece it somehow creates the opposite...
"La Catedral" by Agustín Barrios
Переглядів 865Місяць тому
Barrios was inspired to write this piece in 1914 when he came across a Church where Bach's music was being played on the organ so he listened for a while. The "Andante Religioso" represents this part of the story. When the performance was over, Barrios leaves the serene ambiance of the Church and returns to the noise of the hurried and busy world. The Allegro Solemne depicts this, hence the sta...
Mallorca (Barcarola) op. 202 by I. Albéniz
Переглядів 506Місяць тому
One of Albeniz's most popular pieces on the guitar. This composition is inspired by the Spanish Mediterranean island with the same name. Mallorca (Majorca) is one of Spain's Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean. It's known for limestone mountains sheltered coves, and Roman and Moorish remains. This excellent arrangement is from Stanley Yates' collection. Soli Deo Gloria! Guitar: Hanika 54PC St...
BWV 997 Prelude by J. S. Bach - Performed by Andrew Michael
Переглядів 144Місяць тому
Yet another remarkable piece by Bach. This whole suite has a certain atmosphere to it that's very ethereal to my ear. This Prelude is one that sounds better when played more steadily and metered compared to other preludes. Most Preludes invite a sense of ebb and flow, or rubato, to be applied to it, but this one less so. At least that's my opinion. One thing I did with this whole suite(link bel...

"Rio Acima" by Ulisses Rocha

A gorgeous piece of music by Ulisses Rocha. Rio Acima means "up river" but it's also the name of a city in Brazil. I'm not exactly sure why Ulisses gave it the the title, but it's a brilliant example of word painting. This song evokes images of flowing streams and glistening rivers. Soli Deo Gloria!

    I've heard similar renditions (John Williams, and I believe even Barrios himself with this ancient recording). This version is quite different from mine. The note durations, and the intro (harmonics-part) are the obvious differences. Do you know if there are two distinct versions? I used the score sheets from the yellow Zen-On books. You played it very beautifully ;-) . Bravo!

    • @AndrewMichaelCG

      Thank you! :) I had you in mind when I was working on this. You video of this piece made me want to pick it up again. I also noticed differences in your rendition. I was working out of the Rico Stover publication, which does contain some alternatives for certain spots throughout it. Barrios was a skilled improviser and probably played it differently throughout his lifetime. The version you play may be lifted from a recording that differs from the manuscripts that Rico was working with or something like that. But that's just my speculation.

      Hmmm, well I remember playing it for my student recital the same semester I started working on it, so a few months I suppose. It's honestly such a demanding piece in many respects that it took me years before I became confident in performing it regularly. That was about 10 years ago and I still feel like I'm just trying to keep up with it.

      Very nice! Keep at it brother! I was reading off of the original violin version when I was working on it. It's original in g minor and I wanted to see how well it would work note for note on the guitar in the original key. It's a challenge but it can be adapted. Same goes for the whole suite. There just aren't enough pieces in g minor for guitar!

    Well done! Bravo!👏👏👏 In your short you state, that this piece is trickier than you remember. I totally agree. To play it "somehow" is not too difficult, but to play it cleanly, and metered is something entirely different. And I agree, that this piece is overplayed. Nonetheless it's a classic, and I enjoyed your rendition!
