"Alma Llanera" ("Soul of the Plains") is a Venezuelan song, a joropo, created by Venezuelan musicians Pedro Elías Gutiérrez (composer) and Rafael Bolívar Coronado (lyricist). It was originally part of a zarzuela whose premiere was on September 19, 1914, at the Teatro Caracas. Alma Llanera has since come to be considered as Venezuela's unofficial second national anthem. Its hundredth anniversary was marked by its being declared Bien de Interés Cultural.
Humberto Bruni, Composer
Composed by Humberto Bruni in 2005, this meticulously crafted musical composition utilizes the Canon by German Baroque composer Johann Pachelbel as its central theme. Originally written for a string ensemble, the Canon in D Major theme has gained widespread recognition. Bruni's piece is essentially a "Theme with Variations," where Pachelbel's Canon serves as the foundational theme. Beginning with the presentation of the theme, the composition then unfolds through several variations, showcasing the talents of up to 15 different instruments.
