A typical Philly Guitar Trio concert might include a Vivaldi Concerto, selections from Bizet's "Carmen", Cuban and Puerto Rican danzas, Piazzolla tangos, fandangos from Spain, and maybe even a couple of Scott Joplin rags.

Extractions: Louis Moreau Gottschalk was an American composer and pianist. He is known to have composed two operas, though all that survives is a fragment of the second, Charles X . For this work Gottschalk used part of the libretto to I Capuleti e i Montecchi , originally set by Bellini. A frequent visitor to Cuba, Gottschalk conducted at least part of the opera there in 1860. In Canada in the 19th.century most opera was performed by travelling companies, either from the United States or from Europe. Very little original opera was written, with most performances being European works. One noteworthy performance was of Boieldieu's La Dame Blanche The Widow , written for New Orleans, saw a revival in 1976, in Hamilton, Ontario, Even Canada's own Emma Albani, the first Canadian star in the world of opera, was rarely heard in Canada. She brought her company to Montreal's Academy of Music in 1890 and again in 1892. Angela Peralta 1845 - 1883 In Mexico much of 19th.century opera was also performed by touring companies. One of these companies was led by the Mexican soprano Angela Peralta. After a debut in Mexico Peralta went to Italy in 1861, for further study. She sang at La Scala and Turin and toured Europe, where she was known as the "Mexican nightingale".

Extractions: Blue Note 99241 (www.bluenote.com) The interaction between Cuban and North American music has a long history, one that began in New Orleans. In the mid-nineteenth century, Crescent City pianist and composer Louis Moreau Gottschalk traveled throughout the Caribbean, freely incorporating into his compositions the melodies and rhythms of the region's diverse musical traditions ( Louis Moreau Gottschalk , Smithsonian Folkways SF40803). By the 1870s, the habanera bass line, an essential stylistic feature of the Cuban contradanza , was gaining popularity as the first major Latin influence on North American music. First linked via the transatlantic slave trade, as major Caribbean ports separated by a mere 650 miles, Havana and New Orleans swapped musicians, touring acts, instruments and sheet music in a process of cultural exchange extended by twentieth-century recording technology, radio broadcasting and the record business. U.S. firms began recording in Havana in 1906, and many sides found their way north long before the first New Orleans recording sessions in 1923. Of course, ragtime and early jazz were steeped in a Caribbean gumbo as well. Jelly Roll Morton built in

Extractions: The history of Cuban music is a vast, intriguing, exciting and occasionally overwhelming fresco. From its nebulous origins to today's universal recognition, Cuban music has grown in stature, and its folkloric and popular aspects have progressively influenced the music-making of other cultures. After its inception in the mid-18th century, and its formalization and development during the 19th century, Cuban music first burst upon the international scene with great force in the 1920s. As with the music of other countries, Cuban music clearly offers two sides of a coin: one directly nurtured by folkloric elements and popular (and subsequently commercial) forms of expression, and another, more abstract and complex, where composers from Cuba have followed the difficult route of art music. This last form of communication, concert music, is the one less recognized in the international market-usually for lack of exposure-and often is ignored by Cubans themselves. In many ways, as is usually the case with countries possessing a very rich folklore (and consequently voracious producers of dance and pop vocal music), Cuban popular music has vastly overshadowed Cuban art music.
