The guitar chord (a sonority based on the open strings of the guitar) is one of Alberto
Ginastera' s compositional trademarks. The use of the guitar chord expands throughout forty
years, creating a common link between different compositional stages and techniques. Chapters I
and II provide the historical and technical background on Ginastera' s life, oeuvre and scholar
research. Chapter IV explores the origins of the guitar chord and compares it to similar specific
sonorities used by different composers to express extra-musical ideas. Chapter V discusses
Ginastera's initial uses and modifications of the guitar chord. Chapter VI explores the use of the
guitar chord as a referential sonority based on Variaciones Concertantes, Op. 23: I-II, examining
vertical (subsets) and horizontal (derivation of motives) aspects. Chapter VII explores uses of
trichords and hexachords derived from the guitar chord in the Sonata for Guitar Op. 47.
