2016 Chamber Music Contest Release. This arrangement is dedicated to the memory of William Gomez (1939-2000) viruoso guitarist, Gibraltar. This arrangement of the famous guitar piece offers a lot of performance flexibility by a string chamber group. It can be played by either a string quartet, string trio or even a duo between violin and cello. The original tremolo effect of Tárrega's composition is preserved but the piece can also be played legato, or both tremolo and legato can be combined in the trio/quartet format, thus providing opportunities for a range of performance execution. There is also an oppotrunity to develop co-ordinated precision in (measured) tremolo playing, which is obligated by the characteristic grace-notes in the original composition's melody line, here being expanded into three almost parallel voices. The piece would be especially suitable for an evening recital where quiet music is required, and is accessible by a string quartet or trio of intermediate standard and above. Ample suggestions for performance are given in the Perfromance Notes included in the full score.
