Spanish Opera $76.47 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Spanish opera is both the art of opera in Spain and opera in the Spanish language. Opera has existed in Spain since the mid 17th century. Opera was slow to develop within Spain in comparison to France, Italy, and to a lesser extent Germany which have had continuous traditions of opera since the early part of the 17th century. One of the reasons for this slow development was the existence of a strong tradition of spoken drama in Spain which made some critics believe that opera was a less worthy artform. However, there was a tradition of songs given within largely spoken plays which began in the early 16th century by such distinguished composers as Juan del Encina.

Spanish Web $156.13 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Spanish web is an aerial circus skill, similar in appearance and style to corde lisse. The name refers to both the apparatus and the performance. The apparatus itself is a long braided rope which has been covered by a soft cotton sleeve (a web ) and is suspended by a gimble at one end from overhead rigging. Towards the top of the apparatus, a small loop is attached to the main rope through which a performer will secure an ankle or wrist and be able to hang freely. While in this position, a web setter spins the rope in a wide arc around the performer creating enough centrifugal force to push him or her into a nearhorizontal position. The performer can hold onto the web in addition to hanging from the loop or can release the rope and spin separately. With the addition of an extra swivel to the loop secured to the web, it is possible for the performer to also spin on a separate axis from the rope.

We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. This particular book is a collaboration focused on Spanish Empire.More info: The Spanish Empire consisted of the territories and colonies administered directly by Spain in Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia or Oceania. At the peak of its power, it was one of the largest empires in world history. It originated during the Age of Exploration and was therefore one of the first global empires. It lasted from the 15th century throughin the case of its African holdingsthe latter portion of the 20th century. Spain had emerged in the latter 1480s with a personally unified monarchy, by the marriage of the Catholic Monarchs or los Reyes Catolicos: the Queen of Castile and the King of Aragon. Rule was separate but internal and foreign policy was coordinated. In 1492 they completed the Reconquista of the Iberian peninsula following the Battle of Granada against Islamic Moors. The incorporation of Granada to the Kingdoms of Castile and Aragon achieved the unification of Spain. That same year Christopher Columbus commanded the first Spanish exploratory voyage west across the Atlantic Ocean, leading to the discovery of America and Europes eventual colonial engagement in the New World. The Western Hemisphere thereby became the focus of Spanish exploration and colonization. Author: Hephaestus Books Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 36 Publication Date: 2011/08/2

Spanish Fly (Song) $78.07 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Spanish Fly is an instrumental solo played on a nylon string acoustic guitar by Eddie Van Halen. It was featured on his band Van Halens 1979 album Van Halen II. The song was viewed by many as a follow up to the famous electric guitar based instrumental Eruption from the bands first album Van Halen released in 1978. There are two explanations for the writing and inclusion on the album of Spanish Fly. One is the bands producer Ted Templeman heard Eddie playing a similar sound piece on an acoustic guitar at a party and suggested it be included on the new record. This story is similar to the inclusion of Eruption on the first album. The second, more likely explanation is that the song was included as a response to people suggesting Eddie was a good rock guitarist, but that he probably couldnt go beyond this.

Excerpt: Lara Fabian (born Lara Wilson; April 28, 1978, is an Italian-born international singer who also holds American citizenship. Multilingual, she sings in French, Italian and Spanish, English, in all of which she is fluent. She has also sung in Portuguese, and once in Hebrew on Israel’s 60th Independence Day celebrations and in German in 1988 for a version of “Croire” (ger.: “glauben” eng.: “believe”), although she speaks neither language fluently. She also speaks a little Dutch (Flemish). She has sold over 18 million records worldwide so fa. She is an colortura light-lyric soprano with five-octave range. Born to an American father and a Sicilian mother, she spent her first five years in her mother’s hometown of Catania in Sicily, learning Italian as a first language, before moving back to Brooklyn, NYC. She began singing, dancing, and taking piano lessons at a very young age and began formal music lessons at age eight. She began writing and performing her own songs during her ten years of formal study. Fabian’s songs were greatly influenced by both her classical vocal and music theory training and by contemporary artists such as Barbra Streisand and Queen. During the 1980s, Lara Fabian entered a number of European competitions and won several prizes. A consequence of winning one of these contests in 1986 was the release of her first ever single, “L’Aziza est en pleurs” / “Il y avait”. Both were written by the Belgian composer Marc Lerchs as a homage to the deceased French singer Daniel Balavoine. In 1988, the RTL TV channel in Luxembourg invited Lara to represent the country at the 33rd Eurovision Song Contest, held that year in Dublin, Ireland. The song presented to Lara was a composition made by Jacques Cardona and Alain Garciac entitled “Croi… More:

Brazilian Film Score Composers: Heitor Villa-Lobos, Luiz Bonf , Heitor Pereira, Cl udio Santoro, Antonio Pinto, Andr Abujamra, Marcelo Zarvos $9.8 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Heitor Villa-Lobos (March 5, 1887 November 17, 1959) was a Brazilian composer, described as “the single most significant creative figure in 20th-century Brazilian art music”. Villa-Lobos has become the best-known and most significant Latin American composer to date. He wrote numerous orchestral, chamber, instrumental and vocal works. His music was influenced by both Brazilian folk music and by stylistic elements from the European classical tradition, as exemplified by his Bachianas Brasileiras (“Brazilian Bach-pieces”). Heitor Villa-Lobos was born in Rio de Janeiro. His father, Raul, was a wealthy, educated man of Spanish extraction, a librarian, an amateur astronomer and musician. In Villa-Lobos’s early childhood, Brazil underwent a period of social revolution and modernisation, finally abolishing slavery in 1888 and overthrowing the Empire of Brazil in 1889. The changes in Brazil were reflected in its musical life: previously European music had been the dominant influence, and the courses at the Conservatório de Música were grounded in traditional counterpoint and harmony. Villa-Lobos underwent very little of this formal training. After a few abortive harmony lessons, he learnt music by illicit observation from the top of the stairs of the regular musical evenings at his house arranged by his father. He learned to play the cello, the guitar and the clarinet. When his father died suddenly in 1899 he earned a living for his family by playing in cinema and theatre orchestras in Rio. Around 1905 Villa-Lobos started explorations of Brazil’s “dark interior”, absorbing the native Brazilian musical culture. Serious doubt has been cast on some of Villa-Lobos’s tales of the decade or so he spent on these expeditions, and about his capture and near es… More:

Catalan Musicians by Instrument: Catalan Pianists, Isaac Alb niz, Alicia de Larrocha, Enrique Granados, Josep Colom $8.69 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Isaac Albéniz y Pascual (Spanish pronunciation: ) (29 May 1860, Camprodon 18 May 1909, Cambo-les-Bains ) was a Spanish pianist and composer best known for his piano works based on folk music idioms (many of which have been transcribed by others for guitar). Albéniz with his daughter, LauraBorn in Camprodon, province of Girona, to Ángel Albéniz (a customs official) and his wife Dolors Pascual, Albéniz was a child prodigy who first performed at the age of four. At age seven, after apparently taking lessons from Antoine Marmontel, he passed the entrance examination for piano at the Paris Conservatoire, but he was refused admission because he was believed to be too young. His concert career began at the young age of nine when his father toured both Isaac and his sister, Clementina, throughout northern Spain. By the time he had reached 12, he had made many attempts to run away from home. At the age of 12 he stowed away in a ship bound for Buenos Aires. He then made his way via Cuba to the United States, giving concerts in New York and San Francisco and then travelled to Liverpool, London and Leipzig. By age 15, he had already given concerts worldwide. After a short stay at the Leipzig Conservatory, in 1876 he went to study in Brussels. In 1880, he went to Budapest to study with Franz Liszt, only to find out that Liszt was in Weimar, Germany. In 1883, he met the teacher and composer Felip Pedrell, who inspired him to write Spanish music such as the Chants d’Espagne. The first movement (Prelude) of that suite, later retitled after the composer’s death as Asturias (Leyenda), is probably most famous today as part of the classical guitar repertoire, even though it was originally composed for piano and only later transcribed.

Excerpt: Francisco de Asís Tárrega y Eixea (21 November 1852 15 December 1909) was an influential Spanish composer and guitarist. Tárrega was born on 21 November 1852, in Villarreal, Castellón, Spain. It is said that Francisco’s father played flamenco and several other music styles on his guitar; when his father was away working as a watchman at the Convent of San Pascual the child would take his father’s guitar and attempt to make the beautiful sounds he had heard. Francisco’s nickname as a child was “Quiquet”. An infection permanently impaired his eyesight and when the family moved to Castellón the child was enrolled in music classes. Both his first music teachers, Eugeni Ruiz and Manuel González, were blind. In 1862, concert guitarist Julián Arcas, on tour in Castellón, heard the young Tárrega play and advised Tárrega’s father to allow Francisco to come to Barcelona to study with him. Tárrega’s father agreed, but insisted that his son take piano lessons as well. The guitar was viewed as an instrument to accompany singers, while the piano was all the rage throughout Europe. However, Tárrega had to stop his lessons shortly after, when Arcas left for a concert tour abroad. Although Tárrega was only ten years old, he ran away and tried to start a musical career on his own by playing in coffee houses and restaurants in Barcelona. He was soon found and brought back to his father, who had to make great sacrifices to advance his son’s musical education. Three years later, in 1865, he ran away again, this time to Valencia where he joined a gang of gypsies. His father looked for him and brought him back home once more, but he ran away a third time, again to Valencia. By his early teens, Tárrega
