Enriqué Granados' 'Libro de horas (3), H. 77' is a collection of three pieces for solo piano, composed in 1910. The premiere of the work took place in Paris in 1911, with Granados himself performing. The three movements of the work are titled 'Oración de la mañana' (Morning Prayer), 'Oración de la tarde' (Evening Prayer), and 'Oración de la noche' (Night Prayer). The first movement, 'Oración de la mañana', is a gentle and contemplative piece that evokes the peacefulness of the morning. The music is characterized by a flowing melody that is accompanied by delicate arpeggios in the left hand. The overall mood of the movement is one of serenity and introspection. The second movement, 'Oración de la tarde', is more lively and energetic than the first. The music is characterized by a rhythmic melody that is accompanied by a lively accompaniment in the left hand. The overall mood of the movement is one of joy and celebration. The third and final movement, 'Oración de la noche', is a slow and somber piece that evokes the quietness of the night. The music is characterized by a mournful melody that is accompanied by simple chords in the left hand. The overall mood of the movement is one of sadness and reflection. Overall, 'Libro de horas (3), H. 77' is a beautiful and introspective work that showcases Granados' skill as a composer. The three movements of the work are each distinct in their mood and character, but they are united by a common theme of prayer and contemplation. The work is a testament to Granados' ability to create music that is both technically challenging and emotionally powerful.
