Recuerdos de La Alhambra

Here is one of classical music's most hauntingly beautiful melodies! This arrangement of Tarrega's beloved guitar work takes full advantage of your string orchestra's capabilities. The melody begins using a quartet of soloists over a pizzicato accompaniment that recreates the guitar sound of the original. Next, your quartet of soloists becomes an octet, and the sound grows until finally all strings come together as the music dramatically moves from minor key to major key. Your first violins will use some third position as this lyrical piece passes the melody from high strings to low and back again. This is one you'll want to perform again and again!
