''Cinco canciones populares argentinas'' are a set of five songs for voice and piano, comprising both entirely new compositions as well as new settings of existing melodies, written in 1943 by Argentine composer Alberto Ginastera as his opus 10. The five songs are as follows: *1. Chacarera *2. Triste *3. Zamba *4. Arrorró *5. Gato ==Historical background== In Argentina, the militant revolutionary activity of the late 1930s and early 1940s solidified the power of politicians who, according to Aaron Copland, placed musical policy entirely in the hands of “a small group of conservative musicians” (Aaron Copland, “The Composers of South America,” ''Modern Music'' vol. 19 (February 1942) 77). During this period, Alberto Ginastera allied himself with Argentine intellectuals and artists in criticism of Juan Perón’s policies and signed a manifesto in defense of democratic principles and artistic freedom, for which the composer was eventually dismissed from his teaching positions at state-run institutions. In the midst of this unrest, echoing Bartók’s 1924 penning of ''Hungarian Folksong'' as “a declaration of war on the cultural policies of the Horthy regime” (Lajos Lesznai, ''Bartók'' (London: J.M. Dent & Sons, Ltd., 1973) 120), Ginastera composed his opus 10 of 1943, ''Cinco canciones populares argentinas'', or ''Five Popular Argentine Songs''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cinco canciones populares argentinas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
