A Compositional Perspective

No. 168, University Rd., Dacun, Changhua, Taiwan 51591, R.O.C.

ABSTRACT Alberto Ginastera (1916-1983) is widely regarded as one of the most important

twentieth-century composers from Argentina. Argentine folk songs and traditional dance elements are

prolifically used within his works, especially in the form of adaptations of traditional melodies and

rhythms. The purpose of this study is to analyze Ginasteras Harp Concerto Op. 25 from a

compositional perspective. The discussion includes: (1) a survey of Ginasteras life and his various

compositional styles; (2) the compositional background and analysis of this work; (3) characteristic

applications to harp techniques and interpretation with regard to performance practices; and (4) a

conclusion.
