He succeeded in finding and conveying it's deeper significance, faithfully and elegantly, as well as in achieving the perfect balance between the assimilation of tradition and the huge influence of his impressionist contemporaries, Ravel and Debussy. At the core of his piano repertoire are the four books of Preludes (1912-16), to which must also be added the Menuet basque (Basque minuet), Andante para una sonata vasca (Andante for a Basque sonata), Herrimina (Nostalgia), Homenaje a J.C. de Arriaga (Tribute to Juan Crisóstomo de Arriaga), Prière plaintive à Notre-Dame de Socorri (Heartfelt Prayer to Our Lady of Socorri), and two original pieces for guitar, Tiento y canción (Tiento and Song) and Vora'l Ter (On the Banks of the Ter). Common to the four books of Preludes is a concern for the strict reproduction of the traditional melodies, which are always allowed to shine through. Padre Donostia's expressive writing rises up above the melody, it's express intention being to describe the text, harmonic backgrounds representing landscapes, rhythmic patterns, impressionistic recitatives, distant music from religious processions and festivities, children's games, and so on, all of which are marked by their simplicity and nostalgic lyricism. Although the works were written within a short time of one another, the later pieces show that Padre Donostia's musical and harmonic idiom was beginning to move away from it's classical roots to become more impressionistic in nature.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuskal Preludioak (Basque Preludes): Bat-batian (Improvisation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuskal Preludioak (Basque Preludes): Izketan (Dialogue)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuskal Preludioak (Basque Preludes): Oyanian (In The Wood)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuskal Preludioak (Basque Preludes): Eresia (Sad Song)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuskal Preludioak (Basque Preludes): Aur-dantza (Children's Dance)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuskal Preludioak (Basque Preludes): Oñazez (Grief)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuskal Preludioak (Basque Preludes): Aitonaren Ele-zaarrak (Grandfather's Tale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuskal Preludioak (Basque Preludes): Artzai Gaztearen Oiuak (Shepherd-boy's Song)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuskal Preludioak (Basque Preludes): Seask Aldean Eresiz (Lullaby)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuskal Preludioak (Basque Preludes): Bordako Atalarrian (At The Farmhouse Door)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuskal Preludioak (Basque Preludes): Mutillen Karrika-eresiak (Young Men's Serenade)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuskal Preludioak (Basque Preludes): Ilargitan, Emazte-gayanerontz (Singing In The Moonlight)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuskal Preludioak (Basque Preludes): Urruti-jaya (Distant Procession)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuskal Preludioak (Basque Preludes): Irulea (The Spinner Woman)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuskal Preludioak (Basque Preludes): Malkoa (Tears)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuskal Preludioak (Basque Preludes): Eztei-taldea (Wedding Procession)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuskal Preludioak (Basque Preludes): Errotazuriko Urretxindorra (The Nightingale Of Errotazuri)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuskal Preludioak (Basque Preludes): Zubero-errialde (Landscape Of La Soule)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuskal Preludioak (Basque Preludes): Sagar-dantza (Dance Of The Apples)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuskal Preludioak (Basque Preludes): Esku-dantza (Dance Of The Hands)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuskal Preludioak (Basque Preludes): Zozo-dantza (Dance Of The Blackbird)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAndante Para Una Sonata Vasca: Alla Classica (Andante For A Basque Sonata: Alla Classica)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErrimina - Nostalgie (Nostalgia)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrière Plaintive À Notre-Dame De Socorri (Heartfelt Prayer To Our Lady Of Socorri)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMenuet Basque (Basque Minuet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVora 'l Ter (Sérénade Nostalgique Enfantine, Pour Guitare) On The Banks Of The Ter: Children's Nostalgic Serenade, For Guitar)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiento Y Canción (Para Guitarra) (Tiento And Song, For Guitar)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHomenaje A Juan Crisóstomo De Arriaga (Homage To Juan Crisóstomo Arriaga)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 747313222827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Naxos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.16.04\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52275335659820,"sku":"747313222827","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0863\/2257\/7708\/files\/683498.jpg?v=1762401252","url":"https:\/\/joseyrecords.com\/es\/products\/p-donostia-piano-music-cd","provider":"Josey Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
