Well - it will be in Spanish and I have two weeks to write it in. They
always do things at short notice in Spain.

Hi Monica,
I took a few master classes with Michael Lorimer in the late 1970s, and
at the end of at least one of them he brought out an ornate baroque
guitar and thrilled us all with a few dance pieces. I believe he played
Roncalli--at least that's the name that sticks in my mind after all
these years, but Murcia might have been in there, too. I'm so sorry I
can't give you anything more tangible...not even an album: Michael was
against recording on principle.
This is a great project, Monica. I look forward to seeing what you find
out.
Best wishes,
Jocelyn

I am trying to trace printed editions and recordings of S de Murcia's
music
in any format which pre-date 1987 - the year in which the Saldivar
Codex
came to light or at least was recognized as being a source of his
music.
People like Pujol, Graciano Tarrago, Jose Azpiazu and Alexander Bellow
published arrangements of music by Sanz, Ruiz de Ribayaz and Guerau in
the
1950/60s but they don't seem to have been aware of Murcia's music at
all.
The earliest recording which I have devoted to his music is one made by
Gerard Arriaga in 1987. Does anyone know of recordings which include
pieces by Murcia earlier than this - played on any kind of guitar - or
anything else for that matter..
Also (for good measure) the earliest article about him that I have a
copy
of - included in the English peiodical "Guitar News" in 1967 - is a
short
one by D.E. McConnell. It's about "Passacalles y obras" (which
McConnell
thought was the same as "Resumen de Acompanar") and this information
was
copied by Harvey Turnbull. Does anyone have any references to
him ante
dating this article?
In a nutshell I am trying to ascertain how widely known Murcia was
before
the discovery of the Saldivar Codex.
Any comments would be helpful.
Best wishes to all
Monica
