Duration:
10 minutes total (each movement is approximately 3 minutes long) The
first and third movements can be performed independently Estampas Mexicanas (Mexican Vignettes) is a suite featuring Mexican folk elements. The
composer was inspired by the rhythmic vitality of the music of Carlos Chávez,
the ritualistic mysticism of the works of Silvestre Revueltas,
and the lyrical melodies of Manuel M. Ponce. ·
Ferial
is a festive
parade of simple, colorful, folk-like tunes and rhythms. The opening of this
movement pays homage to composer Carlos Chávez, paraphrasing the opening
measures of his "Sinfonía India". But in
contrast to Chávez’ work, Elizondo uses this rhythmic material in a lighter
manner to propel his festive melodies and create a festive tapestry of
sounds. ·
Danza del Pájaro
Sagrado The second movement is an imagined Aztec
ritual invocation of the sacred bird. The orchestration is sparse and
symbolic. ·
Teotlalli includes a celebratory statement of this movement’s
main theme in a symphonic version of the mariachi band. |
