ARIEL RAMÍREZ: MISA CRIOLLA - GLORIA

Today's selection was requested by listener Nancy Pasley. Misa Criolla is the most famous work of Argentine composer, pianist, and music director Ariel Ramírez (1921-2010). The Misa, a mass for tenor, chorus, and orchestra, is based on folk genres such as chacarera, carnavalito, and estilo pampeano, with Andean influences and instruments. Ramírez wrote the piece in 1963-1964. Almost 25 years later, the famous Spanish classical tenor José Carreras recorded it in 1988. Here we share the "Gloria" from that recording. Thanks for the request, Nancy!
