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. |

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. |

Sefika’s Menuetto
|
|||||||||
|
Duration: 8:30 minutes Şefika’s
Menuetto is a sweet, lyrical piece for flute
and string orchestra, dedicated to Şefika Kutluer. The composer chose musical material he had
written during some of the most memorable moments of his life, revisiting and
reinterpreting it to create an amalgamated canvas upon which he could present
flute melodies that are at times playful and uplifting, and at times
nostalgic and more meditative. |
