Iberia, Suite for Orchestra, No. 1: Evocation [Alf:36-A934201]

Iberia was originally a suite for piano composed by Isaac Albİniz (1860-1909) between 1905 to 1909, published in four books comprised of 3 movements each. Albİniz wrote these in an impressionistic style to evoke Spain. After Albİniz attempted to arrange the pieces for orchestra, he became impatient and enlisted his friend and conductor Enrique FernĦndez Arb³s to do the arrangement. Arb³s arranged five of the pieces: Evocation (Evocaci³n), FŞte-dieu   Sİville, Triana, El Puerto and El Albaic­n. Evocation combines elements of the southern Spanish fandango and the northern Spanish jota song forms. It is one of three that were recorded by Arb³s in 1928. Instrumentation: 3(3rd d.Picc).2+EH.2+BCl.2: 4.2.3.0: Timp:Perc(2): Hp: Str (9.8.7.6.5 in set). Reprint edition.
