Crepúsculos / Twilights / 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
combination with other compositions by Elizondo. For example: o

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). ·

·
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
dedicated to Venezuelan conductor and flutist Orlando Cela ·
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. ·

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. |
