Agustín Barrios - La Catedral for Guitar (Score video)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- La Catedral's composer, Pio Agustín Barrios, was the first South American guitar performer of international stature and, although largely self-trained as composer, the author of guitar music of outstanding worth. He is credited as the first guitarist to record music by Johann Sebastian Bach.
His name is given in a hybrid version of his real name and a stage name he adopted in the 1930s, which was Nitsuga Mangoré. The surname was the name of a legendary chief of the Guaraní tribe; Nitsuga was Agustín spelled backward. He even appeared on concert platforms wearing a Guaraní headdress and announcing himself as "Chief Nitsuga Mangoré, the Paganini of the guitar from the jungles of Paraguay."
He was actually from San Juan Bautista de las Misiones, Paraguay -- certainly a rural town but not a jungle. When he was 25, he left La Paz for a week-long tour of Argentina, but had such success that he stayed away for 14 years. He traveled in Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay, stopping for a while in that country for lessons with Antonio Gimenez Manjón.
It was while he was in Uruguay that he was inspired by the Cathedral of San José in the capitol city of Montevideo to write this work, whose title means "The Cathedral."
La Catedral is one of the most colorful and difficult works in the guitar repertoire. It originally had two movements, and is often performed in that form.
The original opening movement, Andante Religioso, represents the reverent mood that struck the composer when he entered the cathedral and heard music of Bach being played on its organ. The writing for the guitar is remarkable in imitating the sound of that music.
The original second movement is marked Allegro Solemne. It represents the impression of leaving the Cathedral and returning to the bustle of the street outside the building.
In 1938, Barrios added an opening movement, "Prelude (Saudade)." The Portuguese word in the subtitle means something like "nostalgic recollection" and this movement touchingly views the 1914 version of the work as a souvenir in a musical memory book.

This is the best recording of La Catedral that I have ever heard! You know how a painter smooths and blurs the paint with his fingers? That's what this sounds like!
One of the best classical guitarist of this generation playing the most exquisite piece of music that was ever written for guitar. This is amazing. Thank you for sharing the sheet music.
Aprender a tocar esta obra del maestro Agustín Barrios es una tareas que puede llevar años... aquí bellissimamente interpretada
Jaja si supieras que piden aprenderse todo esto para ingresar a una universidad XD
Gracias al "Loco" Enrique, que ya no está en éste mundo, por hacerme conocer ésta obra maravillosa ! . GRACIAS amigo por compartirnos éstamaravilla !!! .
Amazing great ❤
masterpiece
TOP!
Why she played something different than the score, on the 10th bar (Allegro solemne)? Is there another version of the score?
@BC Hello, I would like to do my thesis on Barrios Mangorè and Bach. It was very interesting to read in the description that Barrios was the first guitarist to record Bach's music. I ask you, if possible, the source from which you took this statement so that I can write it on my thesis.
Hi, Tommaso. I found it in the link I put in the description: www.allmusic.com/composition/la-catedral-the-cathedral-for-guitar-mc0002360678
You can read the same information on Wikipedia; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agust%C3%ADn_Barrios
Unfortunately I couldn't find another more reliable source, so I'm going to remove it from the description.
I have played from the same note and that adante irritates every time XD
I prefer Matthew McAllister's version, but this one is also nice.
anybody here from Hellsing?
I remember it from long ago
he is not playing the score, btw
Hellsing brought me here
Moi je préfer IRON MAIDEN
not everyone can have good taste, manchild
cringe
The major thirds are SO SHARP! It is painful to listen to.
00:00 Preludio Saudade
2:20 Andante Religioso
4:20 Allegro Solemne
Beautiful music played beautifully. God bless Latin American culture.Barrios is a legendary genius.
Thank you Ana Vidovic.
Magnífico! Nós todos amamos Mangoré!
I fell in love with this melody, the very fist time I listen to it... and everytime I listen again.
La Catedral um clássico do violão erudito Mundial
Esta pieza de guitarra latina, es como la "chaconna de Bach" para violín.
I was just a child when the stars fell from the skies, but I remember how we built a cannon to destroy them and in turn, how that cannon brought war upon us. War was an abstract idea, nothing more than a show on T.V. As a child, I always saw it y happening on some faraway land, until on that final day of summer
Agustín Pío Barrios queridos y estimables señores creadores del vídeo. Agustín no fué a un tour de una semana a Argentina, el Mangoré viajó porque no tuvo éxito en su país y en el formato de tanta formalidad que conlleva ser concertista de teatro. Rodó por toda América del Sur pues era rechazado por las altas sociedades y no pudo establecerse en dichos países hasta parar en el Salvador.
José Roberto Carmona una pregunta eres historiador biografico dime ? a los musicos actuales les pasa lo mismo actualmente....nadie se salva. esta musica no es para las masas. lo mismo les sucede a los metaleros. son rechasados. y en ese genero hay musicos geniales. y son poco reconocidos.. es una lastima. la gente prefiere a maluma.
@@pacoguitar4816 Y MI OPINIÓN ES POR LO DEL CARMONA . ES SIMPLE BOLUDOS Y HORMIGA HAY EN TODO LADOS ?? ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ GRANDE PIU MAESTRO DE LOS MAESTRO !!!!!!!!!!!!
Really good playing!!!

The guitarist is Ana Vidovic. The audio is taken from a recital she did with Siccas guitars. It's on their channel if you want to see her play the piece.
thanks for the read along, much appreciated :)
Would be better if they followed the score
Every Friday I post new sheet music. Give me a suggestion on my page!
Beautifully played, thank you .
Barrios rocks
Bravo!
Wow. Allegro Solemne became Moderato Solemne...
Very nice!

Thanks for sharing. :)
Obrigado e parabéns pelo canal!
I'm from Brazil.
You've got the wrong arrangement for the version being played.
@N1gerTV The last four bars of the second movement use a known variation that is technically different from what's written on the sheet shown. Bars 9 and 10 of the third movement (just before the volta) also use a different but fairly standard variation. Bar 22, last chord, the high note shown isn't being played. There's a chunk cut from the third movement that's been faded to show it's skipped. The first chord of the second to last bar is being played as a single note instead.
My comment, made nine months ago and probably when I was enjoying substances made legal in Canada a couple of years back, was a bit hasty in that it fails to acknowledge that all of the changes made are interpretation. They're valid, most are well known and accepted, and chances are you won't get called on them if you're doing testing for a music degree. The composer creates, the arranger translates, and the player interprets - and there is legitimate creation and change at all of these stages.
@@FunkmasterRick I am stunned! A commentary from someone who knows what he's writing about. Thanks for confirming what I had noticed.
Amo la mùsica de Mnagorè, recuerdo que esta pieza es dificil interpretarla correctamente segun mi experiencia, me gusta como la toca Ana pero prefiero la interpretaciòn de Ali Arango ¡
JAGR Sunderland Music es difícil tocarla limpia jaja saludos
Bastante jajaj, Nitsuga a pesar de escoger posiciones ergonómicas eran posiciones a veces engañosas, mas en ese allegro me llegue a topar con muchos obstáculos hace unos años, saludos pasa buen día ¡¡¡
JAGR Sunderland Music jaja yo llevo un año tocando guitarra y ya toco todas estas piezas de Agustín Barrios de Tárrega ... Estoy muy contento jaja
Bueno vas a pasos agigantados ¡ Felicidades enohrabuena, yo llevo como 5 años y algunas cosas de Barrios me han costado y no se diga piezas de Nikita Koshkin, esos son verdaderos retos ¡ Deberias animarte a sacar algo de Koshkin ¡
Mil disculpas ¡¡¡ no uso celular desde hace 3 años, tienes facebook? eso me resultaria mas conveniente, igual tengo algunas composiciones de guitarra que podrian interesarte hechas por mi.
I am in love with that peace, on what level is it?
I'm in the fourth grade of musical school and I can play it. The hardest place is a passage in the end of this piece. All the rest of this is easy enough. (Sorry for my English, I'm just a Russian schoolboy)
Quite difficult
It depends of you, i play this piece in 1rst grade of the music school here.
J o b i M u s i c Do you play it in the your first year of studying playing guitar? If it is really so, you are a fucking monster!
This piece requieres very good technique for the third part and a lot of musical taste for the whole piece. There are a lot of kids who play it. But not many play it how they should, they rush and lose the sence of tempo and you can totally sence that. However I would say that this piece is from upper middle to high level, cause there are pieces clearly more difficult, but unless you play lots and lots of tech studies and have your arpegios and schales really well you shouldn't jump to thematically strong pieces.
Creo que es Ana la Grande bravo
Le faltaron unos compases a la persona de la versión, y ejecutó algunas notas cambiadas, demás impecable
Allegro at 4:20
0:00 Preludio saudade
2:21 Andante religioso
4:20 Allegro solemne

Did she skip a few measures towards the end of the third movement? Is that why some measures are faded?
Yes, Chloé. :)
BC
Thank you! The way you put together the audio and the music sheet is really helpful. Have a great day.
Hi what level is this piece? Can a beginner learn to play this?
Hello - i play the electric guitar for eleven years now and started with classical guitar almost 2 years ago so i wouldnt call myself a beginner neither at advanced level especially on the classical guitar - i have been learning this piece for 5 month and im not able to play it properly - the first part is technically the easiest one but the challenge is to make it sound beatiful - to sum up its a difficult piece to play but you can give it a try and if it doesnt work try again after a year 😉

Go measure by measure.
Don’t listen to someone who tells you that you are unable to learn it.
Learn a measure.
Learn the next measure.
Work on putting measures together.
Continue this process and you WILL learn this piece. It will take time.
Use a metronome and start off slow.
Work your way up to speed.
You got this.
Believe in yourself.

@@traviscarver4708 Thanks for the terrific advice! I 'll do that!
Definitely advanced. Would not try as a beginner.
Technically it is quite good. But I find her playing boring. She simply doesn't take risks. I understand she has a following, but what they hear in Ana Vidović eludes my ears. It's like she is playing the notes so perfectly that it is more a display of unbelievable sight reading than artistic interpretation.
Same goes for john williams in my opinion. Not as much as from her, but i always want that extra something when he plays, which i often find in new guitarists.
Well, taking risk in a piece like that it is quite difficult.
It Is one ofe the most important written composition for the guitar and taking risk in a piece like that means that you perfectly know what you are doing.
And if she didn't feel like doing that, that's because she thoughts she didn't need something extra in a piece like that.
i could see that regarding the allegro. i prefer it played at a frantic pace, even if the performer can't keep up and isn't playing perfectly
Jajaja esa es la misma partitura que yo tengo solo que la mia esta toda rayada por mi profe XD
I hope you have a guitar tab I cannot read that . Thank you
With all respect, there's a lot on this music that is left behind on a tab. I really recommend you learning to read scores for this kind of music.
If you want to learn classical guitar, you should learn to read standard notation. People shouldn't cater to you because you haven't learned how musicians have read music for a thousand years.
@@pmikel63 Guitar and Lute music originally was written in tablature actually. So let's not be so condescending towards those who prefer TAB over standard notation.
@@K-Viz I'm very aware of that. I went to school for it. But classical guitar music is no longer written in tablature because like Jose said in the comment above me, too much is left out when all you know is "put finger here" tab. Plus, there are many different ways to go about playing a passage of music. Tabs only tell you what the transcriber thinks is the best way to play it. It's not uncommon for me when learning a piece to find easier/efficient/more musical ways to play something than tabs suggest.
