Canarios

Jig · 6/8 · D major

Canarios is a well-known Baroque guitar piece composed by the Spanish musician Gaspar Sanz and published in his 1674 instruction book Instrucción de música sobre la guitarra española. Written in D major with a lively 6/8 meter, the piece mimics the energetic rhythms and stamping footwork of the traditional Canaries dance originating from the Canary Islands. This exuberant work remains one of Sanz's most celebrated compositions and a staple of early music repertoire for the classical guitar.
