Homenaje a Debussy

Today marks exactly 100 years since Manuel de Falla finished his masterpiece "Homenaje a Debussy". I hope you enjoy my take on it filmed in front of the Cathedral of Salamanca, Spain. :) "In 1920 de Falla moved to Granada and in that year the French journal 'La Revue musicale' commissioned ten composers, including Ravel, Satie, Stravinsky and de Falla, to write short pieces in memory of Debussy, who had died in 1918. De Falla, who always considered Debussy as one of the chief influences on his music, contributed Homenaje (Homage), a slow, melancholy piece for guitar, subsequently transcribed by him for piano and containing reminiscences of Debussy’s ‘La sérénade interrompue’, ‘Ibéria’ and, at the end, of ‘La soirée dans Grenade’."
