Alma Llanera. Pedro Elías Gutiérrez
This is an arrangement made by me of Alma Llanera.
Alma Llanera is considered Venezuela’s unofficial second national anthem.
Music by Pedro Elías Gutiérrez and lyrics by Rafael Bolívar Coronado.
Its premiere was in 1914. Originally the song was a part of a zarzuela with the same name “Alma llanera: Zarzuela in one act”
¡Dedico esta interpretación a todos los venezolanos que luchan por la libertad de nuestro país!

La Dulzura De Tu Rostro. Ramón Delgado Palacios
Ramón Delgado Palacios (Caracas 1867-1902)
He is one of the best Venezuelan composers of the second half of the nineteenth century. His waltzes have a great lyricism, rhythmic and technical complexity. Ramon Delgado Palacios elevated this musical genre that was so fashionable at that time up to the concert level.
Delgados Palacios began his musical education in Caracas and completed his studies at the Paris Conservatoire, although he had influence of the French musical school, his music is mainly Venezuelan in character.
El Diablo Suelto. Heraclio Fernández
“El Diablo Suelto” (The Loose Devil) is a Venezuelan waltz composed by Heraclio Fernandez (1851-1886). He is a great example of nineteenth century Venezuelan piano music.
The waltz that I present here is an arrangement made by me of the first edition. It was published on March 19, 1878 in the newspaper of the same name “El Diablo Suelto”. The composer dedicated this famous waltz to the editors of this short-lived newspaper.
Mañanita Caraqueña. Evencio Castellanos
“Mañanita Caraqueña” of Evencio Castellanos, is a Venezuelan waltz that with a language of our time reminds us those exquisite sounds of Venezuela from the nineteenth century.
Evencio Castellanos (1915-1984) is one of the most important Venezuelan composers of the twentieth century. He was also a pianist, choir conductor and orchestra conductor.
Evencio harmonized and helped spread the sounds of nineteenth century Venezuelan waltz.
