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. |

minutes Princesa de Hadas was
commissioned by Argentine poet Patricio Méndez in 1996. The orchestral

Set me as a seal upon
thine heart (Grábame como un sello en tu corazón)
|
||||||||
Duration: 6 minutes Originally written for organ, French
horn and baritone, the piece is based on a biblical text from King Solomon’s
“Song of Songs”, and was written on occasion of a wedding. The musical
inspiration for the composition came from Mendelssohn’s choral piece, “Verleih uns Frieden”, and from
the magnificent sound of the pipe organ in Trinity Church in Boston, which
was eventually used for the premiere of this piece. |
