Classica Venezolana / Music with flute

Classica Cubana and Classica Argentina were only the beginning. Now join the flutist Anette Maiburg on a journey of discovery to Venezuela. Three musicians from the region are our travel guides: the guitarist Nirse González, the singer Fabiola José, and the cuatro specialist Jesús González Brito.

The cradle of Venezuelan folklore is found in the llanos. This extensive flatland region offers peasants a place for their herds and fields; it is here that they find relief from everyday monotony by singing poetic songs to their cows while milking. The fast and furious joropo in 6/8 time is also at home in the flatlands and has become Venezuela's most widespread rhythm.

The waltz was imported to the major cities on the Caribbean coast during the nineteenth century. Venezuelans who visited Europe brought the Viennese ballroom dance back home with them. Over the years the dance took on a typical South American note through elements of the joropo and the use of the four-stringed cuatro, an instrument similar to the ukulele. The composer Antonio Lauro has written so many joropo waltzes that he is regarded as the "Johann Strauss of Venezuela."

The 5/8 time of the merengue is an absolute must on a disc featuring Venezuelan music. This dance originated in the nineteenth century and belongs to the standard repertoire of each and every Latin American musician. The suite consisting of five pieces for guitar solo also has deep roots in Venezuelan culture. The composer Vicente Sojo has a whole range of musical forms typical of Venezuela in his work.

Contemporary compositions by Federico Ruíz and Héctor Molina round off the program.
