Deep in the lush, passionate and thrilling sound of this music are influences of the Moorish, Greek, Turkish, Italian, French, Sephardic and Flamenco cultures, and you will hear all of these elements in the music of <em>The Flavor of Spain</em>. <p class="maintext">In Part&nbsp;1 of this concert series, we heard the sounds of southern Spain &#8211; Moorish, Sephardic, Italian, Flamenco and Andalusian influence &#8211; including settings of folk songs from these regions by De Falla, Lorca, Turina, Obradors and others.</p> <p class="maintext">In Part&nbsp;2, we listened to the native sounds of northern Spain &#8211; Catalan, Basque, Sephardic and French influence. We heard beautiful music by the major composers of northern Spain:&nbsp;&nbsp;Albeniz, Espla, Granados, Guridi, Iradier, Longas, Mompou, Montsalvatge, Toldra, Turina, Obradors and Vives, as well as Ravel, a French Basque. </p> <p class="maintext">In Part 3 of this series, we enjoy compositions of wide-ranging character and multicultural influence by the members of the famous Garcia family:&nbsp;&nbsp;Manuel&nbsp;Garcia, Sr., Maria&nbsp;Malibran and Pauline&nbsp;Viardot-Garcia, who traveled the world sharing their music. </p> <p class="maintext">Video presentations of images, music and historical points of interest introduce live music, guiding you deeper into the "flavor" of Spanish music. You will leave with an understanding of how this unique sound came into being, as well as a deep appreciation for this amazing genre and the beauty of the Spanish language in song. </p> </td> </tr> <!-- <tr> <td> <p class="presentation"><br>Video Presentation: The Flavor of Spain</p> </td> <td> <p class="composer"><br>Elena Greco</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="55%"> <p class="piece"> TBA <br> </p> </td> <td width="45%"> <p class="composer"> TBA <br> </p> </td> </tr> --> </table> <!-- end TABLE 2 --> <!--NOTES--> <table width="80%" align="center" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" bg="fffffa"> <tr> <td> <p class="notes">For more information, please email <a href="mailto:egreco@elenagreco.com">Elena&nbsp;Greco</a>. <br>For more information about <em>The Flavor of Spain</em> Concert Series, click here:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://www.elenagreco.com/fos.htm">The Flavor of Spain</a>. </p> <hr size="1" color="#333333" width="70%" align="center"> <p class="notes"><strong>Please note</strong>: This is a <strong><font color="ff0000">FRAGRANCE-FREE</font> event</strong> so that those who have allergies and asthma can be comfortable.</p> <hr size="1" color="#333333" width="70%" align="center"> <!--END BODY--> <!--FOOTER--> <p class="brought"><em>The Flavor of Spain</em>&#153; is brought to you by</p> <p class="image"><img src="http://www.elenagreco.com/assets/elenagrecomultimedia/TheaterCurtainEarthSmall.jpg"> <p class="brought"><a href="www.elenagreco.com/elenagrecomultimedia.htm">Elena Greco Multimedia Productions&#153;</a>.</p> <p class="cr"> All written, audio and graphic material on this website is copyrighted and protected by federal copyright law. <br>Elena Greco Multimedia Productions&#8482;,The Music Salon&#8482; and Singers Healing Circle&#8482; are protected by federal trademark law. <br>Prakasha&#174; is a federally-registered trademark. <br>&#169; Copyright Elena Greco <script language="Javascript"> <!-- var thedate = new Date(); document.write(thedate.getFullYear()); --> </script> </p> </td> </tr> <!-- end TABLE 1 --> </table> </body> </html>
