Phillip Sear plays two dances based on Spanish folk songs by Joaquin Turina (1882–1949) -------------------------------------------------------- Full title '2 Danzas sobre temas populares españoles' 1 - 'Cadena de seguidillas' (a series of seguidillas) 2 - 'El arbol de Guernica' (the tree of Guernica) --------------------------------------------------------- The Spanish composer Joaquin Turina needs little introduction from me—you can read about him here: t.ly/lgf0 . These two dances were written in late 1926 for the Oxford University Press series of 'Folk Dances of the World' and received their premiere at the Lyceum Club in London the following year. Of course, in those relatively happy days the name Guernica had no particular significance outside Spain. 'El Arbol de Guernica' is based on a Basque folk-tune and uses the 5/8 rhythm of a 'zorzico'.
