SKU: A0.922218
Composed by Manuel Matarrita. 20th Century,Instructional,Latin,Standards,World. Score. 34 pages. Manuel Matarrita #5310945. Published by Manuel Matarrita (A0.922218).This is a collection of fifteen works for piano that uses a series of songs and dances that belong to the traditional Costa Rican imaginary, as well as the Two-voice inventions (BWV 772-786) by Johann Sebastian Bach. In a stricter sense, these pieces are parodies since they use fragments of existing works as the starting point for the creation of new compositions. In this case it is a double parody process because they emulate national melodies, and they are stylized in light of other compositions and musical patterns of the Baroque period. These inventions (understood essentially as novel creations) do not follow a formal, harmonic or strictly scholastic contrapuntal scheme and they are rather free reconstructions of the original melodies, with some fundamental features of the two-part Baroque works. As for the thematic material, the original melodies correspond to anonymous works of Costa Rican folklore and others whose authors are known -such as Pasión Acevedo, Rafael Chavez Torres, Julio Fonseca Alberto Gómez and Héctor Zúñiga, among others- all of them found in printed versions or sound recordings. The tonal scheme of the compilation traces the order established by Bach in his collection of inventions. The purpose of the works does not go beyond offering an approach for the pianists in training to different musical styles of the Central European tradition from melodies of the Costa Rican own popular repertoire.
