Lágrima (Teardrop) is a romantic prelude for solo guitar by Spanish guitarist Francisco Tárrega. It is one of the best-known original compositions by Tárrega. It has been published by Ildefonso Alier.

Analysis:

Lágrima is a very short miniature consisting of only 16 bars. It takes around 2 minutes to perform and its tempo marking is andante. It has an A-B-A structure, section A being in E major and B in E minor, and has been overwhelmingly highlighted by critics because of its simplicity and melancholic atmosphere. Each section has 8 bars. Section A consists of a very simple and predictable melody with quarter notes and dotted half notes, while the accompaniment has eighth notes. Section B turns a little bit less predictable but otherwise still very simple, with eighth notes on the main voice. At the end of section B, section A is repeated to close the work.[ As usual in Tárrega's composition, Lágrima bears some technical difficulties in spite of its simplicity.

Composed between late 1891 and early 1892, it is one of Tárrega's most performed pieces. Lágrima has not been included in a definitive catalogue of his works. It has been, however, included in other collections of pieces and has been numbered depending on the position in those collections or in recordings.

Musical style:

Tárrega composed music in the romantic style of 19th-century European masters. His conservatory training and familiarity with contemporary classical genres and techniques are apparent in his compositions and transcriptions; these are more sophisticated than those of Spanish guitarist-composers of the previous generation and his contemporaries, e.g., Magín Alegre, Tomás Damas, Julián Arcas, José Viñas, and José Ferrer.

A virtuoso on his instrument, he was known as the Sarasate of the guitar, although Tárrega preferred small intimate performances over the concert stage.

Tárrega is considered to have laid the foundations for 20th-century classical guitar and for increasing interest in the guitar as a recital instrument.

18 Songs from Chinese poets of the Yang period.  These poems have been set in English verse by Kenneth L. Patton.
They retain the simplicity of the original poems in Chinese and are on topics about Nature, Friendship, and Reflections on Life.
The guitar part requires a classical guitarist who is moderately advanced.  The voice part, however, is quite simple and in a fairly small range.   The style does not attempt to imitate Oriental music, but just a simplicity appropriate to the poems.

An Exmas Carol, for alto and classical guitar, was written on Christmas day 1984. It takes the melody of O Little Town of Bethlehem in the guitar part and the voice has its own tune lamenting the fact that we have ceased to hear or understand the message of the Christmas story.


Oh Lonely child of Bethlehem
How quiet you do lie
We cannot hear above the din
your message from the sky
And evening stars together sing the same old Christmas piece
But in our loves we're fast asleep
and strife will never cease

The kingdoms of this world pass on
and never shall return
but man forgets it's all in vain
we never seem to learn
And evening stars together sing the same old Christmas piece
But in our loves we stay asleep
and strife will never cease

Oh lonely Child, humanity!
How quiet, quiet, you do lie...
