Description

Iberia is a suite for piano composed between 1905 and 1909 by the Spanish composer Isaac Albeniz. It is composed of four books of three pieces each; a complete performance lasts about 90 minutes.It is Albeniz's best-known work and considered his masterpiece. It was highly praised by Claude Debussy and Olivier Messiaen, who said: "Iberia is the wonder for the piano; it is perhaps on the highest place among the more brilliant pieces for the king of instruments". Stylistically, this suite falls squarely in the school of Impressionism, especially in its musical evocations of Spain. Evocacin ("Evocation", A minor and A major), an impressionist reminiscence of Albniz's native country, combining elements of the southern Spanish fandango and the northern Spanish jota song forms. The rarely seen seven-flat key signature is itself part of the Evocacin.El Puerto (D major), a zapateado inspired by El Puerto de Santa Mara, town of Cdiz.Fte-dieu Seville (F minor and F major) (alternative titles sometimes found: Corpus Christi; El Corpus en Sevilla), describing the Corpus Christi Day procession in Seville, during which the Corpus Christi is carried through the streets accompanied by marching bands. Musically, this piece consists of a processional march that eventually becomes overwhelmed by a mournful saeta, the melody evoking Andalusian cante jondo and the accompaniment evoking flamenco guitars. The march and saeta alternate ever more loudly until the main march theme is restated as a lively tarantella that ends abruptly with a flamboyant fffff climactic chord; the piece concludes with a gentle coda again evoking flamenco guitars along with distant church bells.Book 2Rondea, from Book II.Rondea (D major), after the Andalusian town of Ronda. A variant of the fandango, it is characterized by the alternation of measures of 68 and 34.Almera (G major), relating to the Andalusian seaport of Almera, is loosely based on tarantas, a flamenco form characteristic of the region of Almera.Triana (F minor), after the Gypsy quarter of Seville.Book 3El Albaicn (B minor and B major)El Polo (F minor)Lavapis (D major), after the district of Madrid.Book 4Mlaga (B minor and B major)Jerez (A minor - arguably E Phrygian - and E major)Eritaa (E major)
