Guerau: Passacalles

Francisco Guerau (1649--1722) was a Spanish Baroque composer who was a singer, violinist, guitarist, and also a priest. His epic collection of guitar pieces titled Poema Harmonico (Harmonic Poems), published in 1694, contain 30 passcalles and 10 other colorful Spanish dances of the time. These pieces are in general of a grander scale than the more famous Sanz and are technically more advanced, as Guerau explicitly states that these are not for the beginner.
