Ricardo -> RE: Help with Juan Talega Solea accompamient (May 16 2021 20:18:14)

Letra 1 is actually ABBBCDCD. Letra 2, you don’t necessarily hold Am longer...best to change on 10 as normal. What happens musically with this style and almost all other ABC letras is actually A, skip B musically, (the return to E melodically) then CD, which can also repeat. So B is omitted musically. So of course ABC means that A and C rhyme where as B and D rhyme with 4 line verse. But for the accompanist it is important to understand regardless if A repeats that we skip down to the cambio for the B line verse. Also the zero verse extension can be added to the B line of verse without hurting the rhyme pattern (see buleria larga). Letra 3, this is Andonda 1. Letra 4, this is based on Serneta 1, but not exactly correct as he doesn’t reach up as high as the C note. This is his own personal creation, and is attributed to “juan Talega” himself. Letra 5, it is unusual for a cantaor to repeat himself in a single performance. It gives a false impression of an “estribillo” or repeating chorus. I don’t call this style a “macho”, rather reserve that title for Joaquin 3 and similar styles. Joaquin 2 (this style) is referred to is a cante de transicion. Carol Whitney’s article calls this letra the “cambio”, and she makes a point to distinguish the term from the actual G7-C cadence. Hope that helps a little. Cante accompaniment thread has some good stuff you should try.
