Gabriel Erkoreka: Fantasia: Solo pour Guitare

The inspiration for this piece is the 'cante jondo' (deep singing) which is the essence of Flamenco. Erkoreka incorporates some melodic and rhythmic archetypes related to this sound-world and gives a quasi-vocal treatment ofthe guitar with techniques such as pitch-bends and mordents of various kinds. The guitar writing evokes the sound produced by a flamenco guitar, incorporating some percussive elements.
