Zarabanda by Enrique Granados comes from his set of 12 Spanish Dances, most often performed on guitar. This third dance, also called a fandango, is particularly well-suited for string orchestra with a beautifully elegant melody and upbeat dance feel, combining the style of flamenco with the classical tradition of the time period. Performers should pay particular attention to articulations, especially the contrasting of staccato with legato bowing. The performance should be fun and light throughout, with an emphasis on the dynamic, melodic, and rhythmic contrast.
