SOME MORE INFO ABOUT HARP PIECE
Theme and Variations, Ciclo Plateresco, Op. 100, presents a classical idiom, but with subtle hints of what is known as the “Plateresque style” of composer Joaquín Turina (1882-1949).
Composed for harp and piano in 1945 (and later adapted for harp and strings with numerous changes in the harp part), it is one of the composer’s last works before his death.
Dedicated to his grandaughter Mari Loli Higueras, Turina created the piece at her request. Premiered at the Círculo Medina in Madrid in 1945, Turina was unable to perform it on the piano due to health problems and was replaced by Enrique Aroca.
The work, with several gradually transforming themes, includes a farruca and passages recalling the guitar sound. Theme and Variations is part of the “Plateresque Cycle” which includes Turina’s last works.
Plateresque is a highly ornate architectural style that flourished in Spain in the 15th and 16th centuries imitating silverwork (in Spanish “plata”), hence the name Plateresque.
This style was soon adopted not only in Spain, but also in the Spanish colonies in South America and in many religious buildings in Mexico.
The Plateresque style derives from the Italian Renaissance, Spanish Gothic architecture, and the Mudejar style.
Other works from the Plateresque Cycle by Jaquin Turina include:
Linterna Magina Op. 101 and Fantasia Cinematografica en forma de Rondo Op. 103.
