quote:
composition of Lorca i thought all those Lorca songs Zorongo, Anda Jaleo, Los Cuatros Muleros, El Vito, La Tarara, Sevillanas Del Siglo XVIII etc. etc. were old Andaluz folk songs, which Lorca collected (much as other folk music has been "collected" eg. Cecil Sharp collected English and Appalachian folk songs), and wrote down, not compositions by Lorca. I understood that he made and recorded his own arrangements of the songs, but maybe that's what you meant by "composition"? quote:
His take on bulerias or the flamenco 3 beat compas i have often wondered about the relationship between these (presumably but not necessarily old) folksongs, and flamenco compas - are the songs older and flamenco compas has evolved by taking the rhythms of the songs and using them as a base for improvising and creating flamenco forms, or are the compas forms older and these are just set folksongs that use the same rhythms. Several of the songs have a loose hemeola 12, 3, 6, 8, 10 rhythm; zorongo, el vito, anda jaleo quote:
it is really classical music i don't think these folksongs were originally classical music, i think they were originally folksongs, but as Lorca wrote them down and recorded them etc. they became available to classical musicians and often performed by classical musicians.
