| Description: 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. Articulations, particularly the contrast of staccato and legato bow styles, offer a fun and light performance with many dynamic, melodic, and rhythmic variances. |
