Guitar playing and singing
Tuesday, November 27, 2007
In this video Salome Sandoval sings and plays classical guitar simultaneously.
The composition here performed is Aria (Cantilena), the 5th of Heitor Villa-Lobos' Bachianas Brasileiras. For those who don't know Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959) was a Brazilian composer. He's very famous amongst classical guitarist because of his indisputable contribution to the classical guitar literature.
Anyone who got serious into classical guitar learning must have tried some of Villa-Lobos 12 studies for classical guitar (published for the 1st time in 1929). If not, at least one of his 5 guitar preludes or a movement from his Suite popular brasileira for classical guitar.
Bachianas brasileiras aren't originally written for classical guitar and voice (they were conceived for various combinations of instruments and voices between 1930 and 1945) but arrangements have been made in which the guitar is included.
