La Serenata from Legendes Valaques (Braga)

This is an arrangement of La Serenata -also called Angels’ Serenade- from the collection Legende Valaque by Gaetano Braga (1829 – 1907). He was mainly known for his operas, I guess the reason why there is a guitar arrangement of this piece: people liked to play their hits at home.

Federico Sacchi, a nineteenth century Italian guitarist- wrote the arrangement, which I found in the Boije Collection. I liked to make an own setting of it.

At times the arrangement is limited in the balance between melody and accompaniment. Stressing melody notes will solve this problem. Apart from some technical difficulties it is a nice piece to play.
