Abstract

Background: This work was written at the invitation of maestra Karin Schaupp, guitar faculty at the Queensland Conservatorium, for the Riverside Guitar Orchestra of Brisbane. Significance: The composition follows the heritage of guitarists and composers who contributed to the prolonged life of the melodic and harmonic patterns of the 16th century Romanesca, from the much popular Diferencias, Contribution: Variations and Improvisations by Luyz de Narváez throughout Iberoamerica, to vernacular offsprings such as the Venezuelan joropo. Innovatively, in this composition the variants are laid out in two main contrasting sections, each one consisting of several variations on the harmonic pattern itself, the melody, or combined fragments of both. The patterns are presented as first emerging from a fog of rippling fragments, gradually gaining profile, definition and drive to unleash their alluring gestures. The work also utilises spatial properties of sound diffusion by the live performing guitar orchestra.
