Crepúsculos (Alpenglow)
|
|||||||||||
·
Commissioned by and
dedicated to Turkish flutist Sefika Kutluer ·
Length: 4:30 minutes ·
Mood: contemplative, lyrical ·
Description: 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. In the
versions with piano, the piano plays a "moto perpetuo". This
continuous stream of sound is sometimes sweet and tender, other times more
angular, and sometimes it quotes the Gregorian chant of death, the "Dies
Irae". It's meant to represent the inexorable passing of time, which
includes moments of joy, sorrow, mourning, etc. The main melody of the
soloist instrument is meant to be a comforting, warm and consoling presence
that accompanies the listener in this meditation about life and death. The
intention of the piece is to evoke a moment of joyful serenity. ·
Premiere: Sefika Kutluer, flute soloist.
Ankara String Ensemble. December 25th, 2019 ·
Programming notes: This piece can be performed as a suite in

Limoncello
|
|||||||||||
·
Dedicated to Mexican
cellist Carlos Prieto ·
Length: 4 minutes ·
Mood: light, serenely
joyful ·
Description: Limoncello is a very
sweet, peaceful, lyrical and tonal piece. It was written at the same time as
“The Dawn of Hope” and “Crepúsculos” (Twilights),
after the composer had lost someone very dear to him. While “The Dawn of
Hope” is about acknowledging the challenges in life, but using the
transforming energy of love and compassion to find hope for the future,
Limoncello is about that moment in which one can smile again after a tragedy,
and see the beauty of life again. “Crepúsculos” is
a meditation about the inexorable passing of time. Even though “Limoncello”
is "sunnier" and brighter than the other two pieces, it evokes a
sense of noble gentleness and tenderness. ·
Premiere: Lowell Chamber
Orchestra, Orlando Cela flute soloist and
conductor. December 2019 (recording), January 2021 (album release). ·
Programming notes: This piece can be

|||||||||||
·
Length: 10 minutes total
for all 3 movements (each movement approximately 3 mins) ·
Mood: festive, joyful,
Mexican, energetic, rhythmic ·
Movements: Suite in 3
movements. The first and third movements can be performed independently. ·
Description: Estampas Mexicanas 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. o
1. 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 a set of simple tuneful melodies, and to create a festive
tapestry of sounds. o
2. Danza del Pájaro Sagrado is an imagined Aztec
ritual invocation of the sacred bird. The orchestration is sparse and
symbolic. o
3. Teotlalli includes a
celebratory statement of this movement’s main theme in a symphonic version of
the mariachi band. The mood for this movement is energetic and full of life. ·
Premiere: The first
performance of this piece was on December 9th, 1995 with the MIT
Symphony Orchestra, conducted by David Epstein (reading conducted by Alan
Pierson). The professional premiere of this piece was on July 6th,
1996 with the San Jose Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Leonid Grin. |

·
Commissioned by and

Length: 4 minutes ·
Mood: light, joyful, with
a bit of humor ·
Description: This composition
combines Baroque elements with Latin American salsa. This piece is intended
for Pops, light 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. ·

Dedicated to Jeffrey
Sanchez ·
Length: 3:30 minutes ·
Mood: playful, lively but
serene, with flamenco influences ·
Description: This composition
was named after a friend of Elizondo’s, a talented guitarist whose playing
stirred his interest in Spanish guitar music and inspired this piece.
Originally composed for flute and guitar, the arrangement for flute and
string orchestra was made especially for Şefika Kutluer. The melodies in this piece originally drew
inspiration from the Mexican and Spanish folk traditions, and were later
influenced by Elizondo’s listening to Venezuelan waltzes performed by the
talented Orlando Cela. The “rondo” form provides an
easy structure for the composer to feature a musical conversation in which
the flute and the orchestra take turns introducing melodic material and
providing complementary countermelodies or ornamental commentary. ·
Premiere: This piece was
premiered by flutist Laura Vincent and guitarist Aaron Larget-Caplan
on January 24th, 2003 in Hudson, Massachusetts. The orchestra
version was created especially for Turkish flutist Sefika
Kutluer and was performed for the first time in her
album “Latin Romance” by Sefika, accompanied by the
Bratislava Strings Orchestra, conducted by Marian Lejava.
The recording took place on 2013 in Slovakia. |

times nostalgic and more meditative. ·
