This new programme celebrating the five-hundredth anniversary of the great Basque navigator Juan Sebastián Elcano’s first round-the-world voyage immerses us in the fascinating evocation of a thousand-year-old maritime culture of which Elcano is one of the most illustrious representatives. Thanks to an eloquent choice of music from different periods reflecting the diverse origins and cultures encountered on the expeditions undertaken in that unique adventure, we evoke an epic enterprise which marked the beginning of the modern age. Once again, Enrike Solinís and his Euskal Barrokensemble successfully combine all the features that we envisaged for this Alia Vox Diversa collection: the rediscovery of forgotten repertories, such as those of the ancient Basque DIVERSA musical tradition and the other cultures that it embraced or shared as it ventured into the immense maritime expanses of a new world, and a range of songs, dances, variations and re-creations performed with respect for the traditions and historical practices of the Renaissance and the incipient Baroque. Let us listen to this wonderful music and these enchanting songs and, thanks to the talent and sensitivity of the singers and musicians of Euskal Barrokensemble, let us recapture the essence of the ancient Basque Country’s musical culture through the abundant vitality and emotion of these musical gems.

Tudela, for example, was the birthplace and centre for outstanding Muslim and Jewish writers, as well as a major trading and shipbuilding city during the 12th-15th centuries, when the River Ebro was navigable as far as the sea. For all these reasons, it is important to study and observe these cultures and their traditions today and to recognize how Re-discovering Elcano much we are reflected in them, to communicate directly with them and to enjoy the whole process. One of the most important changes in the passage from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, as witnessed by Elcano, was the shift in trading and cultural dominance from the Mediterranean axis to the Atlantic, which became the epicentre of transoceanic voyages and trade routes. The Basques played a decisive role in that new conception of the world. Whale hunting, in which they excelled and were pioneers, forced them to develop groundbreaking For those of us who are lucky enough to have been able to travel in space and time with Jordi Savall as members naval engineering skills and to become leaders in a manufacturing industry that led them to plough the oceans and of his ensembles and to learn from each of his projects, launching a new programme with the figure of the pursue the boldest maritime adventures ever seen. They established trading relations with peoples of other outstanding Basque navigator Juan Sebastián Elcano to guide us on a musical journey through his world and his continents such as the First Nations of North America and the inhabitants of Iceland and Sweden. The history times is a congenial task. The premise is clear and the principle is a simple one: music is the quintessential universal of the Basque people and the path towards the first circumnavigation of the Earth that marked the beginnings of language, which has united remote peoples through the ages, as it still does today. The same man who, 500 years globalization are therefore inseparable from that centuries-old naval and maritime history. That early globalization ago, took part in an expedition commanded by Ferdinand Magellan to find the Spice Islands for the Crown of of the planet, with challenges similar to those we see today, unleashed a struggle to dominate the world. In some Castile, and who despite having established a landmark in universal history by circumnavigating the Earth, cases, far from fostering a global spirit, it emphasized differences in response to the danger of individual and is nowadays unknown in much of the world, and yet provides us with a perspective on the past which enhances genuine being swallowed up by the global.

  • Baile Suelto
    RECUERDOS DEL BAILE SUELTO Se conoce con el nombre de Baile Suelto a la danza popular que se practica en Algimia de Almonacid. Es una jota derivada de la de Aragón pero más lenta y con mucha variedad de pasos. Consta de varias partes: • Tres seguidillas • Tres jotas • Una sucesión indeterminada de fandangos. • Y el baile de tres Para introducir la primera seguidilla empieza la música sola, luego se oye el primer cante que no se baila. Es como un toque de alerta para que público y bailadores se preparen para el baile que va a empezar. La letra de este primer cante suele hacer referencia al comienzo del baile, como los ejemplos que siguen: Comencemos el baile La primer seguidilla si les parece siempre va mala porque los bailadores porque sale del cuerpo se lo merecen avergonzada Hay letras burlescas y picarescas como: .Un cazador cazando Una pulga saltando perdió el pañuelo rompió un lebrillo y una liebre lo lleva y si no la detienen colgado al cuello mata a un chiquillo. Al primer cante le sigue otro con igual letra, pero cambiando de tonada, con el que ya da comienzo el baile. Cada seguidilla tiene un paso distinto y se cambian por tres veces las parejas: Al terminar la última seguidilla hay un pequeño descanso y ya empieza la jota. La jota tiene un ritmo más formal, más elegante y en el público se nota que crece la emoción. No es la jota aragonesa, es la llamada Jota Llana que es la que lleva el ritmo del Baile Suelto.

Una propuesta didáctica en el aula de secundaria Ana María Botella Nicolás, Josefa Cervera Martínez y Joaquín Sayas Roger Resumen l presente artículo persigue un doble objetivo: por una parte, analizar musicalmente las can- ciones tradicionales que se cantaban en Chelva para apreciar cuáles son los rasgos similares y diferenciadores que guardan relación con la música tradicional valenciana, y observar los Egéneros que se cantan, mediante el análisis melódico, rítmico, tímbrico y estructural. Por otra, diseñar propuestas didácticas concretas que se puedan aplicar en el aula de secun - daria partiendo de los mayos, la jota de quintos y las seguidillas de Chelva. Se analiza el texto que, junto con la música, informa de situaciones y hechos que están en relación a la situación sociocultural del pueblo. Se concluye airmando que existe un vacío curricular en torno a la música tradicional en la etapa de secundaria, así como una falta de materiales adaptados a las edades de este alumnado. Palabras clave: música tradicional, folclore, Chelva, propuesta didáctica. 1. INTRODUCCIÓN La villa de Chelva1 se encuentra en el interior de la provincia de Valencia. Posee una importante historia, ya que en esta población han convivido diferentes culturas, como muestran los barrios que se conservan en ella. Esta mezcla cultural ha influido en las costumbres y tradiciones. Debido a las Erelaciones existentes entre los municipios de alrededor, en la capital de la comarca de Los Serranos, se observa una música tradicional propia pero, a la vez, son evidentes las relaciones e inluencias -mu sicales con los pueblos de la comarca y de otras regiones cercanas.

  • Guitar in Oxford Music Online
    Oxford Music Online Grove Music Online Guitar article url: http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com:80/subscriber/article/grove/music/43006 Guitar (Fr. guitare; Ger. Gitarre; It. chitarra; Sp. guitarra; Port.viola; Brazilian Port. violão). A string instrument of the lute family, plucked or strummed, and normally with frets along the fingerboard. It is difficult to define precisely what features distinguish guitars from other members of the lute family, because the name ‘guitar’ has been applied to instruments exhibiting a wide variation in morphology and performing practice. The modern classical guitar has six strings, a wooden resonating chamber with incurved sidewalls and a flat back. Although its earlier history includes periods of neglect as far as art music is concerned, it has always been an instrument of popular appeal, and has become an internationally established concert instrument endowed with an increasing repertory. In the Hornbostel and Sachs classification system the guitar is a ‘composite chordophone’ of the lute type (seeLUTE, §1, andCHORDOPHONE). 1. Structure of the modern guitar. Fig.1 shows the parts of the modern classical guitar. In instruments of the highest quality these have traditionally been made of carefully selected woods: the back and sidewalls of Brazilian rosewood, the neck cedar and the fingerboard ebony; the face or table, acoustically the most important part of the instrument, is of spruce, selected for its resilience, resonance and grain (closeness of grain is considered important, and a good table will have a grain count about 5 or 6 per cm). The table and back are each composed of two symmetrical sections, as is the total circumference of the sidewalls.

  • Women and the Guitar in Spain's Upper Classes1
    Anuario Musical, vol. 53 (1998) WOMEN AND THE GUITAR IN SPAIN'S UPPER CLASSES1 Richard PINNELL Abstract The 13th-century Libro de Apolonio featured women and an aristocratic guitar called the vihuela. This instrument's prestige continued into the 16th century in the hands of empresses, queens, princesses, and ladies of the Spanish upper clas­ ses. Their inclination to perform on the fretted instruments enhanced the impact of humanistic and educational values ema­ nating fromthe ltalian Renaissance into Spain's Mediterranean ports. On the return ships, starting around 1550, Spanish women launched the baroque guitar's expatriation at Naples, which gathered forces for a northward invasion through the city-states and into the rest of Europe as the guitarra española. Reinforcements carne from Spanish and Italian popular culture, as it advanced north to Scandinavia and west to the Ameri­ cas. Following in the footsteps of the Habsburg infantas who became the wives of Louis XIII and Louis XIV of France, the guitar movement reached its apotheosis under Bourbon rule, which after 1700 circled back into Spain. From 1660 to 1800 the princesses and queens of the Habsburg, Savoyard, Stuart, and Bourbon dynasties, continually elevated the instrument's pres­ tige, adding to its popularity and opening the way for its influence in secular art music. Resumen El tema del Libro de Apolonio, del siglo xm, se basa en las mujeres y una aristocrática guitarra llamada vihuela. El prestigio de este instrumento continuó durante el siglo XVI en manos de emperatrices, reinas, princesas y señoras de las cla­ ses altas españolas. Su inclinación a tocar este tipo de instrumentos expandió la importancia de los valores humanísticos y educativos procedentes del Renacimiento Italiano que llegaban a los puertos mediterráneos de España.
