El Decameron Negro, in three sections ("The Harp of the Warrior," "Fleeing of the Lovers through the Valley of Echoes," and "Ballad of the Maiden in Love") is based on the eponymous book by Leon Frobenius, which retells African legends about a warrior-cum-musician. As its title suggests, Hika is a memorial piece for composer Tōru Takemitsu who died in 1996. Carlo Domeniconi's Koyunbaba is another suite in four short movements. "Koyunbaba" has several meanings, including "shepherd," and it is also a geologically rough area of Turkey. Of the composers on this CD, it is Joaquín Rodrigo who needs the least introduction, and his Invocacíon y Danza probably is his most popular work for solo guitar.
