Programme notes *: Spanish folk music has a rich and diverse tradition, characterized by its unique melodic and harmonic elements. An outstanding example of the embodiment of this musical tradition is the work "Paso Quebrado" by the composer Luis Cardoso. This composition reflects the characteristic features of Spanish folk music and can be classified into the rich cultural landscape of Spain through its rhythmic and melodic structures. "Paso Quebrado" is based on melodic and harmonic elements characteristic of traditional Spanish music. The melodies are often passionate and expressive, and the harmonies are characterized by a mix of oriental, Moorish and Catalan influences. This diversity is reflected in "Paso Quebrado" in that the melodies are catchy and emotional, but the harmonies are complex and rich in nuances. A key feature of Spanish folk music, which is also evident in "Paso Quebrado", is rhythmic diversity. The piece uses alternating 3/4 and 6/8 bars to weave rhythmic and melodic phrases together. This change creates a dynamic and lively atmosphere that takes listeners on an immersive journey through Spanish musical tradition. The rhythms often reflect the dance character that is an integral part of Spanish folk music. "Paso Quebrado" serves not only as a musical work, but also as a tribute to Spanish folk music. The composition draws from the rich sources of folkloric tradition and interprets them in a contemporary and accessible way. Luis Cardoso manages to capture the essence of Spanish folk music and present it in a modern context without losing the authenticity and depth of the heritage. Quelle/Source: musicainfo.net (KI)
