DESCRIPTION:
What? No one has reviewed this delightful book? Lorca has written both an essay on Deep Song and a book of Deep Song poetry - they should be read together.While Lorca, Falla and others' theory of the origin of Deep Song in the gypsy tradition is now discounted, the sensitivity Lorca shows in trying to retain a traditional form is wonderful. [Current theory gives more influence to the original Andalusian, Saracen, and Shephardic influences which had already developed into Deep Song when the gypsies arrived].In fact, one should also read some Arab. nestor bloodvessel said complicated. there are some very complicated themes in this book. but the language is beautiful. It is helping with my Spanish.
He has also translated the work of Henry Miller and other contemporary American writers into Spanish.. In this group of poems, based on saetas, soleares, and siguiriyas, Lorca captures the passionate flamenco cosmos of Andalusia's Gypsies, ""those mysterious wandering folk who gave deep song its definitive form.Cante jondo, deep song, comes from a musical tradition that developed among peoples who fled into the mountains in the 15th century to escape the Spanish Inquisition. With roots in Arabic instruments, Sephardic ritual, Byzantine liturgy, native folk songs, and, above all, the rhythms of Gypsy life, deep song is characterized by intense and profound emotion.Fearing that the priceless heritage of deep song might vanish from Spain, Lorca, along with Manuel de Falla and other young artists, hoped to preserve ""the artistic treasure of an entire race."" In Poem of the Deep Song, the poet's own lyric genius gives cante jondo a special kind of immortality.Carlos Baur is the translator of García Lorca's The Public and Play Without a Title: Two Posthumous Plays, and of Cries from a Wounded Madrid: Poetry of the Spanish Civil War. The magic of Andalusia is crystallized in Federico Garcia Lorca's first major work, Poem of the Deep Song, written in 1921 when the poet was twenty-three years old, and published a decade later
