The Castellani Andriaccio Duo Collection

We are pleased to present this collection of masterful concert arrangements that have been a major part of the Castellani Andriaccio Duo’s touring and recording repertoire for decades. These arrangements stand out as works of art unto themselves in addition to their place in the broader musical repertoire that they represent. This contribution to the classical guitar repertoire is just one component of the Castellani Andriaccio Duo’s legacy to the instrument as one of the foremost guitar duos in history.

We are pleased to present our arrangement of the iconic and legendary, Fandango, by Padre Antonio Soler, the genius monk of the Baroque era. This work was a mainstay of our touring repertoire for years. The ubiquitous and haunting two measure ostinato motif, inspires, enchants, and delights in all its possibilities. The use of modal duplicity makes this unique piece a wonder in its place in the history of western music and has been a blueprint for imaginative interpreters in countless media. Enjoy and be challenged by its endless possibilities. This contribution to the classical guitar repertoire is just one component of the Castellani Andriaccio Duo's legacy to the instrument as one of the foremost guitar duos in history. Includes the Score, Guitar 1 and Guitar 2 sections.

This book presents the most up-to-date biography of the Spanish composer Isaac Albeniz (1860-1909) and is the first to offer a thorough, annotated bibliography in addition to an extensive discography, chronology, and list of works. The bibliography treats not only articles, books, dissertations, and exhibition publications, but also includes numerous reviews of his operas and other works. An overview of the nature and location of primary sources and the holdings of various archives (in England, France, Belgium, Germany, and Spain) is an especially useful feature of this book that is not available anywhere else. Alb niz's letters, manuscripts, library, photographs, and other important documents and personal effects are discussed. This guide to research sheds welcome light on one of the most important composers in the history of Spanish music, one whose works won the admiration of Faure, Debussy, and Messiaen, and exerted a profound influence on de Falla, Turina, and Rodrigo.

Reports for 1980-19 also include the Annual report of the National Council on the Arts.
