Prelude in C by Agustin Barrios Mangore (1885-1944)
 This work is a medley of different melodies from Argentina. When Barrios first arrived in Buenos Aires in 1910, he earned his living playing guitar in theaters and movie houses during intermission and between acts. An extended potpourri of popular melodies worked well in this format, and Barrios utilized the melody form in numerous works, such as the Aires Andaluces, as well as Armonias de America and Pot-pourri Lirico (a medley of arias from the operas Rigoletto, Carmen, Tosca, Aida and il Guarani). |
