|
|||||||||||

inspired by Mexican folk-dance music and the sound of “mariachi” bands. It is
a tribute to the composer’s homeland. |

La Alborada de la Esperanza (The Dawn of
Hope)
|
|||||||||||
Duration: 4 minutes The inspiration for this composition is the journey from darkness to light
that happens when someone faces a challenging situation and is able to turn
around and focus on a more positive future to come. Even though there is some
struggle and melancholy in this journey, it gets transformed into hope. The
result is a surprisingly luminous composition. It's a very tonal and lyrical
and it is dedicated to French cellist Sébastien Hurtaud.
The piano and cello version was premiered by Sébastien Hurtaud
and Pamela Hurtado as part of the celebrations of the 100th anniversary of
the end of World War I on November 11th, 2018. The version for cello and
string orchestra was premiered during the World Youth Days in Panama on
January 24th, 2019. |

Zephyr’s
Smile (La Sonrisa de Céfiro)
|
|||||||||||
Duration: 5 minutes Each of the three movements in this suite is named after a toy that
requires the gentle action of the wind to function. Since Zephyr is the most
celebrated wind in music and poetry for its gentle, benevolent breeze, it
seemed appropriate to anthropomorphize him and imagining him smiling at these
images that bring back joyful moments of childhood and celebration. This
composition is meant to be light-hearted, joyful and full of energy. The
names of the movements are: ·
Papalotes (Kytes) · Rehiletes (Windmills) ·
Luces de Bengala
(Sparklers) |

Crepúsculos (Alpenglow)
|
|||||||||||
Duration: 4 minutes Alpenglow is a
specific type of twilight, consisting of a magical pinkish or orange light
that appears at the top of the Alps right before the sun goes down. The piece
is sweet but melancholic, with some elements of minimalist and impressionist
inspiration. The piano plays a "moto perpetuo" for most of the
piece. The ethereal melodic line sometimes floats above the piano
accompaniment and sometimes joins it in its perpetual motion. This
composition is dedicated to Sefika Kutluer. |

Estampas Mexicanas
I.
Ferial (Parade)
II.
Danza del Pájaro Sagrado (Dance of the sacred
bird)
III. Teotlalli (Land of Gods)
|
|||||||||||
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. |

Despapaye
|
|||||||||||
Duration: 3 minutes This composition that combines Baroque elements
with Latin American salsa. This piece is intended for Pops concerts or as a
fun encore. It starts as a standard Baroque dance, but at some point
“peculiar” things start to happen (seemingly out-of-place glissandos,
pizzicatos, etc) that eventually transform the
piece into a very fun and rhythmic salsa. |

Imágenes en la Niebla (Images in the Fog)
|
|||||||||||
Duration:
4 minutes Imágenes en
la Niebla is a deeply personal
composition evoking the emotional journey of the composer facing adversity
and seemingly undefeatable illness. Through the clouds of pain and distress,
he catches a glimpse of luminous images of hope in the distance. Though the
path gets rougher and the obstacles more frequent, he emerges victorious from
the cloud of fog and joins the luminous images in joyful celebration. |

Frog
Leaps
|
|||||||||||
Duration: 1 minute Frog
Leaps was
written in an improvisational outburst in response to a radio broadcast of
“chance-music” composed by John Cage. At first, it creates the image of an
energetic amphibian leaping back and forth joyously on the piano keyboard.
However, recognizable rhythmic and melodic patterns soon emerge from this
improvisational work, ironically validating the value of artificially
constructed methods used to introduce “randomness” to music. Originally
intended as a joke, Frog Leaps was submitted
to a competition where it caught the attention of Italian pianist Giovanni
Mancuso. He premiered it in a concert of the new music ensemble Laboratorio Novamusica in
collaboration with the Romanian Culture Institute and the Youth Assessorship
of Venice. The concert took place at La Fenice
opera house. |
