Hispánicas, suite for piano

Andrés Gaos was a Galician composer who stood out for having succeeded in spreading Galician music during the early 20th century throughout Latin America, especially Argentina, the country where he spent most of his life. In the great majority of his compositions Gaos exhibits an inspired melodic line accompanied by a dense harmony, and despite the unexpected and frequent modulations, tonality remains firm. However, the work presented here puts tonality aside and ventures into a certain musical impressionism. The suite Hispánicas is composed by the following pieces: 1. Niebla en la Alhambra 2. Muiñeira 3. Jota navarra 4. Habanera 5. Zortzico 6. Andaluza This volume belongs to the series Agra Vella, within the collection Ars Gallaeciae Musicae that Dos Acordes co-publishes with the Galician Agency for Cultural Industries (AGADIC) of the Xunta de Galicia.
