Fantasy on Two French Carols
The two carols upon which this fantasy is based are 'La Ballade de Jesus
Christ' and 'Quelle est Cette Odeur Agréable?'. These are both
early traditional French carols. The scoring is for four tenor guitars
with the option of a requinto (tuned in A) for the guitar 1 part . The
bass part is complementary to the guitar 4 part rather than a substitute.
It can be played on acoustic bass or a suitably controlled electric bass
where the ensemble size demands it.
Parts: (rqto/gtr1), gtr2, gtr3, (gtr4/bass) - Grades: (5/4),3,3,(3/3)

| Nin, Joaquín |
Granadina and Saeta Guitar quartet (or Orchestra) Grades: 4-6 These two pieces are taken from Twenty Spanish Folk Songs by Joaquín Nin. They were originally written for soprano and piano and cover all regions of Spain; the Granadina and the Saeta both being from Andalucia. Granadinas exist as a flamenco form alternating strict tempo dance sections with freer lyrical passages. Whilst Nin's Granadina is an original composition, it does recognise the feel of its Spanish forerunner. The Saeta is of very different character being a processional music form that is used on religious occasions.
