Gaspar Sanz was born in Spain in 1640, he died in Madrid in 1710.

He was one of the most interesting Baroque guitarists. He was an ordained priest as well as "professor of guitar" Sanz left us an important body of compositions for guitar.

Canarios by Sanz is one of the most likeable and happy pieces written for guitar and is really something special in the modern guitar repertoire.

The great Spanish composer, Joaquin Rodrigo, used themes from "Canarios" and themes from other pieces by Sanz for composition written for Segovia "Fantasia Para un Gentilehombre" which is a Fantasia for guitar and orchestra.

As an interesting note, Rodrigo's other great work for guitar and orchestra "Concerto De Aranjuez" is probably the best known work for guitar and was the inspiration for Miles Davis' "Sketches of Spain".

I first heard Canarios as a teenager when my guitar teacher lent me a John Williams record - it made a huge impression on me.
