Suite Española

Timothy Brown

Winner of the fifth Aliénor International Composition Competition for new harpsichord music, Suite Española was inspired by the music of Spanish composer Isaac Albéniz and is written in a style accessible to a wide range of performers. The four movement suite includes Malagueña (an emotional song), Romanza (imitates guitar strumming), Seguidillas (a fast triple-meter dance), and Tango (romantic and passionate), exploring familiar Spanish themes.
