Guerra, Amor y Campanas (NF001, cassette only), original composition commissioned by Carlota Santana Spanish Dance for the company's 1988 season at Symphony Space in New York City. The work was choreographed by Luis Montero and is a Flamenco ballet inspired by Hemingway's novel For Whom the Bell Tolls. The cassette features Basilio Georges and Pedro Cortes on guitar and Francesca Vanasco on cello. Basilio overdubbed upright bass and synthesized flute, vibraphone and percussion tracks. The length is 35 minutes and segues from section to section using Flamenco toques such as bulerías, siguiriyas and soleá por bulerías as its foundations. Interesting use of tonality to create the moods of scenes based on this Spanish Civil War story. Basilio also used Manolo Sanlucar's Medea as a model during the creation of this project.
