SERRANO JUAN, FLAMENCO TECNICAS BASICAS. Metodo in inglese e spagnolo. CD TABLATURE

LIBRO DI SPARTITI DI MUSICA FLAMENCO PER CHITARRA, METODO CON CD E TABLATURE.

Product Description:
This book, written in both English and Spanish is the most authoritative method available on flamenco guitar technique. Juan Serrano is one of the world's premier flamenco concert soloist and is a seasoned teacher and performer in this vibrant, colorful musical genre. The text describes the history and development of flamenco music; teaches basic music theory; presents developmental studies on flamenco guitar techniques such as rasgueado and tremolo; and offers 14 exciting flamenco guitar solos. Written in notation and tablature.

The flamenco guitar descended from a long line of Spanish ancestors, and it is a deviation from its classical counterpart. According to one essayist on the subject, the guitar emanated from Egypt. Others like to believe that it evolved from the Greek~Assyrian cithara, brought into Spain by the Romans. However, the music of the guitar, that which accompanies the flamenco dance and song, in reality reveals evidence of Near-Eastem and Egyptian ancestry. During its acclirnatization in Spain, the minstrel and poet Bagdadi Ziryab added the fifth string. The Spanish guitar, accepted throughout the entire peninsula during the 10^th Century, soon distinguished itself for the rasgueado technique. Since the beginning of the 19th Century it has had six strings: E, A, D, G, B, E. The music of the flamenco guitar depicts one of the rnarvels of the natural arts.

INTRODUCCION

La guitarra flamenca cuenta con una ilustre ascendencia hispana y marca una desviación de la clásica. Según algunos tratadistas, la guitarra es procedente de Egipto. Otros la suponen procedente de la citara Greco- Asiria importada a España por los Romanos. Pero la música de la guitarra tal como acompaña al baile o al cante flamenco acusa en efecto evidentes reminiscencias orientales. Durante su aclimatización en España el cantor y poeta Bagdadi Ziryab le añadió la quinta cuerda. La guitarra Española aclimatada en toda la peninsula en el Siglo X, pronto se distinguió por la técnica del rasgueado. Desde principios del Siglo XIX, la guitarra posee seis cuerdas: MI, LA, RE, SOL, SI, MI. La música de la guitarra flamenca constituye una de la maravillas del arte natural.

MEL BAY PUBLICATIONS, INC., PACIFIC, MO 63069. MADE AND PRINTED IN U.S.A.

Designed as a comprehensive multimedia teaching set, this book, CD, and DVD present 42 solos, progressively graded in 6 levels from absolute beginners to more advanced, to suit players of all levels. It contains examples of eighteen different palos (rhythmic forms) of flamenco, with a wealth of melodic falsetas and rhythms. The music for all these is accurately written in notation and flamenco tab (cifra) in the book, and is also recorded on the companion CD. The DVD video contains over 57 minutes of solo music, and also includes introduction by Juan Martín and brief scenes of Andalucia today, which help to place this profoundly exciting and deeply felt music in the landscape of its origins. Juan Martín has succeeded here is showing how even music which is simple and very easy to start with can express the essential sound and emotion of flamenco, to build step by step the skills necessary for the performance of concert solos. Written in English and Spanish.

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to my new video series! It can help you to play flamenco guitar whatever your present level of skill. Many people who would like to play flamenco on the guitar tell me they are discouraged by the apparent difficulty of the techniques required. I want to try to change that, because the marvellous art of flamenco is much more about feeling and rhythm, those essential components of aire and compas, than always about sheer speed or amazing technique. The exciting challenge for me has been to arrange and compose music which includes classic elements with more modern sounds and rhythms that will capture for the student the true essence of flamenco guitar right from the very start, without sounding too simplified or lacking that characteristic flamenco sound.

The solos in this project are in a progressive series of grades, from an initial Grade a up to grade 8. This book, CD and video, the first of two sets, contain the pieces for grades a to 5. The grades are intended to be in line with the levels of musical advancement required for the grade examinations of music colleges for any musical instrument. This is a new kind of challenge for flamenco, but the art is now becoming so international that I believe it is time to see flamenco guitar as an art that can be learned in a progressive way by anybody who has the necessary devotion, understanding and determination. To many devotees of flamenco the idea of a formal graded approach, possibly subject to examination, may seem quite alien and even unwelcome. I want to look to the future, however, and to join with others who now nurture the growing world-wide interest in this precious art and the need for systematic methods of teaching. The essence of flamenco is so strong and distinctive that I do not believe its future is threatened by the increasing numbers of people who find in its soul what they want to express and to enjoy in music, any more than the music of the Mississippi Delta has been impoverished by the world-wide interest in the art of the Blues. There are no formal standards or guidelines in flamenco that are widely established to mark the student's stages of progress. In this project, therefore, I have given much thought to what I believe should be the appropriate levels of skill and musicianship necessary for achievement of the grades which can mark the advancement of technical ability and musical understanding. The book contains more details about the contents and requirements of each grade.

I have been greatly encouraged in this project by my young son Carlos, whose need for interesting music to play from the start of his learning the guitar has given me a valuable purpose and focus in preparing the music, particularly with the earliest grades.

There is bound to be disagreement about whether a piece is right for the grade assigned, or whether it is too easy or too difficult. I think that sort of argument is both unavoidable and not really very helpful. I have tried to present a logical development of musical understanding and of techniques for the right and left hand, but the important thing is not to be too rigid about the sequence of grades. Students and players have to differ in their capacities and needs. The music always matters more than anything else! More advanced players will be able to incorporate the music of the video in their own arrangements, and they should find things worth learning at any grade.

My aim is to give the student music which he or she will enjoy playing and which will reward the effort to practise and learn. This is not primarily a project to explain technique, but I have included some brief notes about the individual pieces. I hope you will share in the enjoyment I have had in undertaking this project with my good friend and former student Patrick Campbell who has again worked hard to communicate my playing through video, the CD and the printed page. I would also like to thank Bill Bay and his team for their invaluable advice and encouragement with what we believe to be a new advance in learning methods for flamenco. Viva el arte - y vamos a tocar!
