Romance, a late 16th century brilliant Guitar composition in G sharp (E minor) of an anonymous composer. I guess this piece for Guitar is known (and once played) by all guitarist.
It is written for and "on" a Guitar making use of the instrument's typical characteristics. A mixture of sostenuto, tremolo and apoyando techniques make the melody stand out against a tirando and tremolo played accompaniment.
I've decided to digitize it into a General Midi recording. The challenge was to capture the "spirit" of this beautiful guitar piece on computer.
You are sitting on a terrace sipping delicious country wine in the garden of a Roman villa near the sea ... in a beautiful landscape ... and in despite of this stimulating scenery you feel very lost ...
A few tables away an anonymous person is looking over the sea ... she could take away your loneliness you fantasy ... she is your 'Romance Anonym' ... and from a window the sound of a guitar is taken by the wind and comes to your ears; it is this melody!
This must be the right moment, time and place you realize! And there sure is the right kind of vibration in the air. But it can't be; Its an Romance Anonym , a fantasy!
Damn fantasies!
