Jaleo! : for piano solo [eScore] / David Holyoake.
Work Overview
A dynamic and rythmic piano work inspired by the peak intensities of flamenco music and dance. Fusing flamenco-jazz colours with an accessible contemporray classical language, the work also taps into the trance inducing rhytms and repetitive structures of Indian and Arabic musical forms that are some of the mysterious roots of gypsy flamenco.
The work is also conceived to be performed, optionally, as piano plus flamenco dancer, or contemporary/flamenco fusion.
