Hello everyone, I wish you a week full of good and rewarding experiences. Today I have returned to the initiative called by @eugelys every Monday, MUSICAL MONDAY, and like last week, I feel happy, because there is another space so that those of us who are not musicians can share our musical experiences.
Last week I was rummaging through the books in one of the libraries in my house. In them there are books and magazines that belonged to my grandfather, and I found a book that caught my attention because it is full of musical scores. It is a somewhat old book and is damaged, but I think it is still a gem. This was published in 1978, by the then Ministry of Information and Tourism of my country, Venezuela, as a tribute to MAESTRO ANTONIO CARRILLO. For those who do not know who this character was, it is enough to say that he was a brilliant musician and composer, an exponent of national music, standing out as an exceptional bandolinist.
This book is very complete, as it has a prologue written by Manuel Rodríguez Cárdenas, a Venezuelan writer who worked to promote Venezuelan folklore during the 20th century, and who was a great admirer of Carrillo's work. Then he brings a biography of the Master. It should be noted that according to what this book indicates, Maestro Carrillo suffered a cerebrovascular accident (which caused his death shortly afterwards) while making music, when he performed at a concert in 1962.
Then it presents the scores of 42 of the songs composed by Maestro Carrillo, signed with his handwriting, and dated according to the year in which they were composed. I was able to notice that most of them are waltzes, with the exception of a Pasacalle, a Bambuco and a Bolero, which is why this composer opted precisely for that musical genre, the waltz. The book ends with the score index. It really is a very unique book.
Mis canciones para este Musical Monday / My songs for this Musical Monday
I think that currently few people know the work of Master Antonio Carrillo. In my particular case, I don't know his music in depth, but I do remember that when I was little I listened to it in my house (where there was always music), and when I went to visit my grandfather, or came to visit my friend's house. Aunt, and there was always music. Finding songs by this musician is somewhat difficult, however I was able to find two recordings of him, and the first one that I share with you is the waltz “Esperanza”, a beautiful piece of music where we can admire the mastery in the bandolin performance.
The second piece that I bring you today is another waltz, titled “Flor Otoñal”. Compared to the previous one, which sounded more cheerful, in this song the rhythm is more sober, and you can hear some interesting chords that Maestro Carrillo plays with the bandolin. It's a very nice song too. Here I leave the audio.
And to close my Musical Monday today, I share with you the best-known nationally and internationally known song by Maestro Antonio Carrillo, the beautiful gem titled “How a Star cries”, which he composed in 1915. In this case I have brought the version made by the Venezuelan musician Ilan Chester, where although the bandolin does not play, we can admire its beautiful lyrics and music. As I read in this book, this was the song that Maestro Carrillo hummed after suffering the stroke, while he was transferred to a health center. It could be said that it was the song that accompanied him until his death. Here I share the audio with you, I hope you enjoy this beautiful song.
Este ha sido mi participación de esta semana para esta estupenda iniciativa de @eugelys, compartiendo con todos ustedes un libro y tres canciones del MAESTRO ANTONIO CARRILLO
