presentation I' ve been Looking for to play Here for like Year like than anden For such a Wonderful Opportunity presentation UM is meant to align with the current exhibition on Maze And you wouldn't Think initially that The Guitar and Maze would have a lot in common But There are some interesting parallels that kind of revolve around the BR Idea appr and Movement crs musical Instruments and ideas Back and forth between the New World and the Old World and It All kind begins at The Same Time In Spain It is Around 1494 that Columbus Returns From his Second Voyage to the New World and he brings Ma with Him Back to Spain and When Ma arrives In Spain they really don't know What to do with it Because it's not really like any of the other crops that have in SP they TR to rel it to things like meat or S But It's really quite removed and so it mostly remains an For The Next 100 Plus years for it really gains A Foo But It is Around that Same Time that We begin to see references to a new musical instrument on the span landscape and that would be The First Guitar identified As lait Time And would have looked like this instrument Right Here This is a Renaissance Guitar and Example of What the very First guitars Look Like It is a Guitar visually in the Sense that has The Figure E shaped Body But More importantly The Strings are tuned To The Same intervals asar so thats likeit [music] in otherwise differences that aum with a Total of Seven Strings and the Two highest Strings are actually on the Outside of the string lay The First Music published for this instrument was published in 156 in and For You Two these very First pieces So You can get an Idea of ​​What This instrument sounded like and What the music Written for it sed Like First Piece is a p which a moderate Tempo Dance and The Second Piece is identified As vac and it would have been A well in SP As it uses A familiar progr that shows Up mus that Call that R with [music] yes [music] [applause] [music] K [music] [applause] so This instrument spreads quite quickly across southern Europe Up into England and even arrives in New World Is Around 1570 we have a reference to a Guitar being played in Augustine colony in flor Making that sold Who Guitar america's and later on pese migrants and SA Hawaii arrived with This instrument and the Hawaiians really like it and they rename it or whichever you prefer showing kind of that Connection that is Pretty obvious seeing But As thea Comes to End Trans into a new instrument and Comes As of changing musical Styles in This Next period which We call the baro period instrumental music becomes Far More significant and a lot of Instruments Take on New characteristics The Guitar being No Exception so The Guitar becomes big and it an added fifth course of Strings and This version of the Guitar on to become wildly popular across southern Europe Spain And throughout The New World As Mirroring popularity of the Guitar as we know it today in fact the earliest surviving music we have From The New World com from a colony In Spain Around 1670 and that Music was Guitar Music later Right After that Out Of per As well so The Guitar was being used throughout New on It is also Around that Time Around 1670 that establishes itself In Spain As A staple crop especially in the southern regions of Spain not The andalan region which is even Now A cer for agriculture In Spain and We know that Spain consume corn outbreaks of which is a nutrien that Comes EA Way Too Much corn The issue being that This is unprocessed corn and that When Spain brought corn Over they did not Bring the Processing Method that was used for thousands of years in native American populations Speaking of the process soak skas But in any Case Moving on to music In 1674 The First Solo Music is published for this instrument In Spain composer gaspar s S is a well composer For The instrument Because often on the Modern But He was well known during his Life As well As A guitarist and composer so My Next Set Will Be a Series of Spanish dances All by gaspar I will not be Taking a lot of breaks in between pieces Very Very Minimal trying to continue the music as we Think This is How
