It was originally composed in 1921 as a two movement piece. The Prelude in B minor was later added, around 1939, to form the now three movements we know today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"andante-religioso-for-bach\">Allegro Solemne for the Street<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a programmatic piece, here we have Barrios exiting the church in Montevideo, after listening to the organist play Bach. The opening idea, see above, is repeated four times throughout this section. There are three different turnaround ideas for each repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Learn the Allegro to Agustin Barrios The Cathedral (Part 1)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/br-0qPYStt8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In this first video lesson, we cover the opening section with its running sixteenth note pattern.

Barrios fully exploits the guitar&#8217;s unique tuning to help realize the swing, and peal, of the Cathedral bells. Here we have a G shape (from our friend the CAGED system &#8211; see <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/caged-system-g-shape\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">G SHAPE <\/a>article for more ).

The ideas float freely around the B minor chord shape, and traverse the majority of the frets.

Take a look at bar 22 above, and compare it to the manuscript below, and you will see vast differences in bass, and chords.
