3 / GUARANIA / PARAGUAY
The guarania is a paraguayan style of song created by a musician called Josй
Asunciуn Flores in 1925. He wanted to find a music to express the character
of the paraguayan man beyond that expressed by the polca and its
derivatives, so he developed a combination of slow rythms and melodies,
some that were melancholic and others of an heroic character. Since its
appearance the Guarania has turned into a phenomenon of major
significance in paraguayan music of the 20th century. This genre has an
extraordinary acceptance. Its author, after succesive investigations, planned
a symphonic way of guarania, creating orchestral poems, songs with symphonic
accompaniment and finaly symphonic poems of universal transcendence. Soon
numerous composers adopted the Guarania as a form of expression, increasing
its repertoire so that it enjoys great popularity in urban centres, but not
in the countryside.
The accompanying MIDI on the Classical Guitar Tablature page
is only to be used as a guide, because of the polyrhythmic writing and sense
of this music.
