"Handeliana" was premiered at the Boston Guitar Festival 2012, and subsequently represented the Fundacion Juan March (Madrid), Le Poisson Rouge (New York City), Instituto Cervantes (New York City), International Guitar Competition in Seville, Carnegie Hall (New York City ), The College Music Society in Cambridge, Massachusetts. A CD recording has been edited by the Naxos label in July 2013. "La Memoria de los Ca os" (" Memories of Ca os" ) is a piece for solo guitar composed by Llorca in 2003 in the coastal town of "Los Ca os de Meca" ("The Waters of Mecca") in southern Spain. This piece is the result of Llorca's increasing interest in combining techniques of both Baroque and Spanish traditional music with elements of contemporary music. According to Llorca: "Nowadays there is great confusion about the purpose of contemporary music. Young composers have the dilemma of either continuing the path of experimentation or revert to the conventional wisdom. Some composers are unable to proceed under the same aesthetic auspices that have dominated the music during the last decades. Looking back is perhaps the only way out. Reviewing the past working on the classical concepts (horizontal and vertical) of the music, taking up the notion of expressiveness based on traditional models " USA Premiere: "Ricardo Llorca y la musica de Catalu a" (The Florence Gould Hall-Alliance Francaise, New York Octubre 2004 ) Solista: Tali Roth Spain Premiere: "Ricardo Llorca y la re-invencion del Barroco" Benidorm.
