Cuban art music before and after the Revolution

  • Summary

  • Musicologist Marysol Quevedo joins Rebecca to speak about Cuban art music composers of the mid-20th century, such as Harold Gramatges, Juan Blanco and Argeliers Leon. As she details in her recent book, although their works largely relied on classical music structures and forms, they brought in elements of Cuban popular and folkloric music.

    Pieces played:
    Tres preludios a modo de toccata, Harold Gramatges
    Sonata a la Virgen del Cobre, No. 2, Argeliers Leon
    Quinteto No. 1, Juan Blanco
    Cirkus Toccata, Juan Blanco
