Jaume TORRENT
Concierto para guitarra y cuerdas no.1 op.52
Guitar & String orchestra
Piano reduction & Guitar part
From the starting point of the role once placed by the lute, the guitar aimed at establishing a dialogue with the string duo, trio and quartet, with contributions by such important composers as Diabelli, Carulli, Molino, Bocherini and Giuliani. With his opus 30, Giuliani was the composer who achieved the highest level of perfection, as he adjusted his work for guitar and string quartet to the
concertante model advocated by classicism. It was not until 1950, with the birth of the magnificient M. Castelnuovo-Tedesco
Quintet for guitar and string quartet, that this tradition resumed, recuperating for today?s singers and composers one of the formations which possibly offers the greatest possibilities for the creation of a language of guitar which is solidly into the world of chamber music.
Through this Concerto for guitar and strings no. 1, op. 52, Jaume Torrent sets forth a series of colloquial processes of great interest through which the guitar does not renounce t any time its melodic-harmonic language, establishing a dialogue with the orchestra and conveying an aesthetic based on the extended tonalities which hold certain characteristics similar to those of modal music. This piece also reveals a clear balance between the expression of ideas and the formal aspect of music, that is, the way in which musical thought is exposed.
