Recuerdos de la Alhambra
- A classical guitar piece composed around 1896
- Written in Granada
- Name means: Memories of the Alhambra
- Terraga combined the Romantic trend in classical music with Spanish elements to good effect in this wonderful compostion
- The piece can be heard in popular movies: Killing Fields, Sideways
Recuerdos de la Alhambra utilizes tremelo technique: a single melody note is played in rapid succesion by the a,m,i, fingers, which results in a long sustained note sound.The technique lends itself well to the illusion that two guitarists are playing.

Thanks so much, Chef Jeff. I love this guitar piece.
Thanks for the background info. on the Alhambra.
Great music lives forever. I've played a lot of guitar but am truly humbled by those who play the classics. I've never done it but can appreciate the skill involved.
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Rob,
Yes, classical and Spanish guitar techniques are up there. It's such a beautiful-sounding instrument when played with skill.
Great stuff. I spent a memorable evening in La Pena de La Plateria in Granada a few years back.

Muchas Gracias,
This piece is challenging because of the sustained tremolo technique. But, it is so beautiful! Good for you, arriscraft.

It's so hard for me to remember that once I could play this piece, and play it well! Along with Flamenco, I learned a lot of great guitar music in Spain.
I visited the Alhambra just to say that I had seen the object of veneration in that piece, and I learned so much more by being in the gardens, walking the ways between beautiful flowers. I now know why the Islamic leaders who left Spain in 1492 desired so greatly to return!
I have a large collection of Segovia and the other greats in classical guitar music, and I managed to see Segovia in concert in Chicago before he passed away. I was mesmerized for more than an hour! More recently I saw Paco de Lucia in live concert, also in Chicago, and he gave a fantastic performance!
I have given my guitars to my son, and he studies and plays a little. I hope to see more excellent hubs like this from you! Bravisimo!
