Calle Real

To Antonio Lauro
for Intermediate to Advanced Guitarists

Recalling the “Calle Real” (real street) style of composing by Venezuelan composers in the mid 20th century, this piece was composed in the form of a sentimental song, a common inspiration for solo guitar music.

One composer whose music is loved by many guitarists is the famed Antonio Lauro, to whom this piece pays homage.

The music features a melody of longing and tenderness, supported by idiosyncratic chordal shapes that facilitate a natural flow in this song-without-words.

This piece also provides concert artists with a brief Latin American solo.
