Miguel Llobet: La Nit de Nadal

Dear guitar lovers,

If last week's livestream topic was broader in reach, for this one we are narrowing down on one and a half minutes of pure joy – Llobet's La Nit de Nadal. What it may lack in length it makes up for in its variety of character. We are compelled to pull out all the stops to make it shine.

See you there!

Emmanuel

Miguel Llobet was one of the most important Spanish guitarists of his time. A student of Francisco Tárrega, he is perhaps most famous for his arrangements of Catalan folksongs as well as his arrangements of Spanish piano music for the guitar.

 

If perhaps one of Llobet's shortest arrangements, La Nit de Nadal is filled with so many contrasts of character, speed, articulation, and colour, that we are invited to have a complete awareness of our musical intentions and technical control to achieve them. Join Emmanuel Sowicz as he shares his insights on bringing Llobet's music to life.
