October 9, 2007 "Folk Influenced Music/ Dale Kavanagh interview"
<Listen To Preview> <Listen Online Now>



This week's edition of Classical Guitar Alive! features music influenced or inspired by folk traditions, and an interview with Canadian guitarist Dale Kavanagh.

The program begins with Dietmar Ungarrank's Chinese folk music/art inspired work, "Wind on the Hill", performed by one of China's exceptionally fine young guitarists, Xuefei Yang.

Argentine guitarist-composer Jorge Morel uses several native South American traditional dance forms for his "Fantasia de la Danza", for guitar and orchestra, including the Vidala, the Milonga, and the Malambo.

Canadian guitarist Dale Kavanagh discusses Domeniconi's "Variations on an Anatolian Folksong." Carlo Domeniconi is best known for another Turkish music-inspired solo guitar work, "Koyunbaba." Unlike the free-flowing improvisatory nature of "Koyunbaba", his "Variations on an Anatolian Folksong" uses a straightforward theme, variations, finale, and theme for its structure. The work is based on the song, "Uzun Ince Bir Yoldayim", or "I go the long narrow way", by the blind Turkish folksinger Asik Veysel.

Bulgarian musician Atanas Ourkouzounov is both a virtuoso guitar performer and prolific composer. Many of his works utilize elements from Eastern European folk traditions, including his Divertimento for two guitars, flute, and cello.

Arnold Black's "Laments and Dances from the Irish" for two guitars and string quartet is based on the melodies of blind Irish harpist/balladeer Turlough O'Carolan.
