Original

Rhapsody composed by Mikis Theodorakis. 1925-. For guitar and symphony orchestra. This edition. Linen-bound. Score. Text Language. Greek - French - English. Composed 1995. 128 pages. Duration 30 minutes. Published by Edition Romanos. M7.ER-10. ISBN 978-960-290-467-1. With Text Language. Greek - French - English. At the request of the Berlin Comic Opera Theodorakis wrote the song cycle "Romancero Gitano" based on a poem by Federico Garcia Lorca in a translation by Odysseus Elytis. The original work is for symphony orchestra, mixed choir, mezzo-soprano and solo guitar and was premiered in 1983 in Berlin by the orchestra of the "Komische Oper", the singer Maria Farandouri and the guitarist Kostas Kotsiolis. In this version, written in 1995, the composer has omitted the mezzo-soprano and the choir, and has re-worked the orchestral part in order to add more weight to the guitar part. As a consequence, the work has become more idiomatic and easier to play. Allegro con brio. Nr. 2 Andantino. Allegretto Nr. 3. Andante Nr. 4. Andante Nr. 5 Lento-Allegro Nr. 6 Allegro Moderato Nr. 7 Andante.
