La Nébuleuse / Gabriel Rignol

Start the year in Spanish style with the brand new teaser for La Nébuleuse: Viaje a España. 

Watch the teaser here.

A brief overview of the Spanish musical landscape of the 17th and early 18th centuries. The program consists of works by major composers, both for the baroque guitar with Gaspar Sanz and Santiago de Murcia, as well as for singing with the Tonos Humanos (equivalent to court airs in Spain) with José Marin, but also Luis Briceño, who published the first book mentioning the baroque guitar in Paris, and who most certainly influenced Etienne Moulinié: the latter, in turn, composed court airs in Spanish with guitar accompaniment. These works, all clearly inspired by popular dances such as the Canarios, Jacaras, Tarentella, Chacona, Passacalle, and Folias, are accompanied by parts restored for the baroque guitar, the Colachon, and various types of percussion.
