  • Rippling Notes” to the Federal Way Performing Arts & Event Center Sunday, September 17 at 3:00 Pm
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACT August 23, 2017 Scott Abts Marketing Coordinator [email protected] DOWNLOAD IMAGES & VIDEO HERE 253-835-7022 MASTSER TIMPLE MUSICIAN GERMÁN LÓPEZ BRINGS “RIPPLING NOTES” TO THE FEDERAL WAY PERFORMING ARTS & EVENT CENTER SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 AT 3:00 PM The Performing Arts & Event Center of Federal Way welcomes Germán (Pronounced: Herman) López, Sunday, September 17 at 3:00 PM. On stage with guitarist Antonio Toledo, Germán harnesses the grit of Spanish flamenco, the structure of West African rhythms, the flourishing spirit of jazz, and an innovative 21st century approach to performing “island music.” His principal instrument is one of the grandfathers of the ‘ukelele’, and part of the same instrumental family that includes the cavaquinho, the cuatro and the charango. Germán López’s music has been praised for “entrancing” performances of “delicately rippling notes” (Huffington Post), notes that flow from musical traditions uniting Spain, Africa, and the New World. The “timple” is a diminutive 5 stringed instrument intrinsic to music of the Canary Islands. Of all the hypotheses that exist about the origin of the “timple”, the most widely accepted is that it descends from the European baroque guitar, smaller than the classical guitar, and with five strings. Tickets for Germán López are on sale now at www.fwpaec.org or by calling 2535-835-7010. The Performing Arts and Event Center is located at 31510 Pete von Reichbauer Way South, Federal Way, WA 98003. We’ll see you at the show! About the PAEC The Performing Arts & Event Center opened August of 2017 as the South King County premier center for entertainment in the region.

  • FAKING a BAROQUE GUITAR Jay Reynolds Freeman Summary: ======I Converted a Baritone Ukulele Into an Ersatz Baroque Guitar
    FAKING A BAROQUE GUITAR Jay Reynolds Freeman Summary: ======= I converted a baritone ukulele into an ersatz Baroque guitar. It was a simple modification, and the result is a charming little guitar. Background: ========== I don't know how an electric guitar player like me got interested in Baroque music, but after noodling with "Canarios" on a Stratocaster for a few months, I began wondering what it sounded like on the guitars Gaspar Sanz played. Recordings of Baroque guitar music abound, but the musicians commonly use contemporary classical guitars, which are almost as far removed from the Baroque guitar as is my Strat. Several luthiers build replica Baroque guitars, but they are very expensive, and I couldn't find one locally. I am only a very amateur luthier. With lots of work and dogged stubbornness, I might be able to scratch-build a playable Baroque guitar replica, but I wasn't sure that my level of interest warranted an elaborate project, so I dithered. Then I met someone on the web who had actually heard a Baroque guitar; he said it sounded more like a modern ukulele than a modern classical guitar, though with a softer, richer sound. That started me thinking about a more modest project -- converting a modern instrument into a Baroque guitar. I had gotten a Baroque guitar plan from the Guild of American Luthiers. Its light construction, small body, and simple bracing were indeed ukulele-like. A small classical guitar might have made a better starting point, but it is hard to add tuners to a slotted headstock, and I find classical necks awkwardly broad, so a large ukulele was more promising.

  • RASGUEADOS on the Classical Guitar Level 4
    RASGUEADOS on the classical Guitar Level 4 RASGUEADOS Rasgueados are an elaborate form of strumming, using down strokes and up strokes with both the fingers and thumb. Rasgueados can be played to defined rhythms or as musical gestures. They can be exciting, spectacular and even heroic in pieces such as Asturias by Isaac Albeniz and Joaquin Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez. There are many combinations that can be played and the composer does not always give instructions as to where the down or up strokes are - often writing just rasgueado (or rasg.) above the passage. Sometimes a rasgueado is not specified at all, or a chord may only have the strum/arpeggiato symbol, and the guitarist decides that a rasgueado, rather than a strum with p, would be exciting at that point. The player often needs to decide which rasgueado sounds best - choosing which finger combinations/groups to use and where to play the down and up strokes. To be able to choose, the guitarist needs to know the possibilities, and this tutorial covers rasgueados that demonstrate the various finger movements/strokes which can be combined and adapted to the context. The Spanish word rasgueado is onomatopoeic and descriptive. It is probably derived from rasguñado – grazed or scratched. Appropriately, has the word uña (fingernail) embedded. raspado - scraped – which can colloquially also mean ‘with no manners!’ rasgado - ripped, torn. Together with the rolled Spanish ‘r’ they all give a sense of the qualities the rasgueados can have! Pronunciation: RA(t)S - GUE(ss ) - A(t) -DO(n) > q e e e Rasgueados can be boisterous and if those around you tell you to ‘put a sock in it’1 - take them at their word - take the sock, thread it through the strings to mute them - and carry on practising! 1‘be quiet!’ Level 4: Rasgueados 1 The rasgueados in this tutorial are played with pima.2 The following pages contain descriptions of the finger/hand movements in rasgueados, when they are played slowly.

    A MINI-GUIDE The Story . .2 Meet the Cast . .3 What is zarzuela? . .5 Meet the Creator of Little Red . .6 The Composers . .7 Activity: Make your own castanets! . .10 The Story: Bear Hug/Abrazo de oso! Bear Hug/Abrazo de oso! is a bilingual (in two different languages) youth opera and the cast sings in both English and Spanish. It is set in a zoo. The Zookeeper enters the stage while feeding some of his favorite animals including Marla, the koala bear, and Polly the panda bear. He admits that while he loves his job as zookeeper, he’s nervous about the grizzly exhibit next door. Grizzly bears are known to eat meat and he feels less than confident. Polly the panda greets the audience and mentions her love of reading and learning. She hears singing next to her exhibit and meets Bernardo, a very special Spanish brown bear and newest exhibit to the zoo. In fact, the entire zoo is decorated to welcome the newest bear! Bernardo, who has just arrived to the zoo and doesn’t speak much English, is nervous and feels lost. He misses his family. Polly distracts him from his loneliness by playing games like charades, trying to understand her new friend. They come across a locked gate. Polly has always wondered what was on the other side of the zoo and her adventur - ous personality starts the bears on a search for the key and out of their exhibit. The two meet Marla, the zoo’s koala bear. Koalas are actually marsupials—that means Marla isn’t really a bear at all! Koala bears are generally sleepy and like to eat plants such as eucalyptus.

  • Temporal Acuity - Flamenco Guitar Versus Classical Spanish Guitar
    ISMA 2019 Temporal acuity - flamenco guitar versus classical Spanish guitar Robert MORES1 Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Germany Abstract Other than classical Spanish guitars, flamenco guitars are capable of projecting rapid beat sequences in pronounced clarity. This relates to what musicians call a fast guitar. This asks for fast attack but also for some kind of damping in between beats, which may follow each other densely by some ten milliseconds in a rasgueado. Temporal features are investigated across guitars of both types to understand whether the flamenco guitar differs from the classical guitar in these aspects. The full data corpus contains impulse responses from more than 60 valuable reference guitars. Attack and decay are extracted from bridge impulse responses and from playing open strings. Additionally, a simple measure represents the speed of sound development across the soundboard. Populations of both types of guitars strongly overlap in these temporal maps and the physics seem to provide only part of the answer, auditory physiology may provide the other part of the answer. Keywords: flamenco guitar, temporal features 1 INTRODUCTION Contemporary flamenco and classical Spanish guitars appear to be similar on the first sight, without typical differences for the scale, the plantilla, the volume of the enclosed air, or the strings used. On the contrary, in the times of Torres, the plantillas differed very much from guitar to guitar, and guitars were not necessarily classified flamenco or classical guitars, but rather professional or cheap guitars (1). And even though flamenco (FG) and classical Spanish guitars (CG) are much more similar today than ever, most of the Andalusian contemporary guitars makers offer them as specific FG or CG (2).

  • Classical Guitar Comparisons
    Vasilij Acic PHY 406 Prof. Errede 5-11-12 Classical Guitar Comparisons Objectives: For my project I wanted to compare and contrast the acoustical properties and the sound quality of two classical guitars in different price ranges. Also, by using everyday household items I wanted to see if I could reproduce the sound quality of the cheaper guitar to the more expensive one. Background History: The guitar has been a staple instrument in the development of music ever since it was first created in the 1500’s. The very first guitars resembled something like todays ukuleles. Since then it has gone through various transformations and adaptations. The most popular style of guitar is the acoustic guitar. While that too has numerous versions, the way the sound is produced from the instrument is fairly constant. When the strings get plucked and vibrate, the vibrations travel through the saddle to the bridge, to the soundboard. The entire soundboard starts to vibrate, and the body of the guitar, which forms a hollow soundbox, amplifies the vibrations of the soundboard. The classical guitar uses these same methods, however, there are a number of things that differentiate it from today’s standard acoustic guitars. For starters, the hardware is very different. While most classical guitars still hold the same basic shape, they are in fact shorter than standard acoustic guitars in both scale length and overall length. “The modern full size classical guitar has 1 a scale length of around 650 mm (25.6 inches), with an overall instrument length of 965–1016 mm (38-40 inches).
