Example 5.3 from <strong>the</strong> 3 rd movement of Charles Chaynes’ 3 Preludes pour<br />

“Fatum,” uses a popular way of notating <strong>the</strong> rasgueado. The first chord is given<br />

followed by <strong>the</strong> rhythm of <strong>the</strong> rasgueado. Luciano Berio, in Sequenza XI, notates a<br />

rasgueado similarly (Example 5.4):<br />

Example 5.4 Rasgueado in Sequenza XI by Luciano Berio. Page 1, system 3.<br />

Luciano Berio’s Sequenza XI is a fourteen minute tour-de-<strong>for</strong>ce that contains<br />

many different types of rasgueados. Berio states that he was trying to fuse elements from<br />

<strong>the</strong> classical and flamenco styles in this work. He says, “In Sequenza XI two instrumental<br />

and gestural styles are also present, one having its roots in <strong>the</strong> flamenco guitar tradition,<br />

and <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r in that of <strong>the</strong> classical guitar.” 2<br />
