Sounds of Spain 4

The strumming of Spanish guitars, the lyrical tribute to a great Spanish composer, the passionate excitement of Iberian sensations, the breathtaking exuberance of Spanish rhythms, the reminiscence of Spanish culture---Spanish elements are infused in each of these five pieces. Rolled chords evoking a Spanish guitar, enhanced rhythms with alternating hands, and lyrical passion are all found in Sounds of Spain, Book 4 by Catherine Rollin. These five late intermediate to early advanced solos explore many of the diverse dance and harmonic elements that make up the colorful Spanish music tradition. Each one is technically accessible yet contains dramatic sections that sound impressive.
