In Corpus, Magali, Hughes and Adrien present their arrangements of compositions by Granados, Albeniz, de Falla and Turina. The link between the guitar and the country of Spain is so intense that the adaptation of these works originally conceived for piano or for orchestra finds in their version for three guitars an amazing character of authenticity. Spain appears in its diversity and in its splendor all over the nin compositions of Corpus. It is a farruca, a jota and a zortziko transformed into three Danzas fantasticas for piano under Turina’s pen, it is the bullfighter’s prayer of the same Turina, it is the impressive narration that Albeniz gives of a religious procession in Sevilla… Let’s take this opportunity to highlight the decisive action of composer and musicologist Felipe Pedrell in the growing awareness of a musical heritage that these four composers would explore with fervor.
