“Musical Narratives”
Solo Classical Guitar Music with Narrated Stories
by Ricardo Alves Pereira
Musical Narratives, for classical guitar
Ricardo Alves Pereira selects a unique order of pieces from various composers for classical guitar and creates a
parallel story, that is presented together with the repertoire. In this way, besides the individual narrative of each
composition, it’s own sequence also generates a global narrative. From imaginary portraits of composers to
narrations of Greek myths, each musical narrative describes a different story. This type of performance brings an
open space for self-reflection and continuous imagination through the guitar’s intimate sonority. This concert
counts with composition by Tarrega, Barrios, Takemistu, Narvaez and Mudarra. The concept of musical narratives
for classical guitar was created by Ricardo in his master artistic research.
