Tres composiciones basadas en los estilos interpretativos de la música llanera: criollo, torrealbero y estilizado

Abstract

This paper describes the process of creation and interpretation of three compositions for the llanera harp and voice, each of them framed in one of the three most recognized styles of interpretation in the musical environment: criollo, torrealbero and stylized. The characterization of these styles was based on what was found in the bibliography, in the discography and in the information gathered in semi-structured interviews with three renowned harpists. Although a so-called 'commercial' style is also mentioned, a discussion and personal position is presented in relation to this style, since it is not considered as such from the point of view of the harp's performance and, consequently, a corresponding piece was not composed. In the same way, the characterization and explanation of the patterns of interpretation on the harp was made, as well as the analysis of each of the works from the point of view of each of the mentioned styles.
