Die Legende des edlen Ritters The Legend of the Noble Knight / La Leyenda del Noble Caballero · I. Unter dem Sternenhimmel des Rheins / Under the starry sky of the Rhine · II. Die Nachtblume / The Night Flower · III. Loreleis Erlösung / Lorelei’s Redemption · IV. Der Empfang des Helden / A Hero’s Welcome
· Commissioned by and dedicated to Benedict Klöckner · Length: 15 minutes · Mood: epic, cinematic, lyrical · Movements: Suite in four movements · Description: o 1. Under the starry sky of the Rhine. This movement was originally written as a stand-alone piece and was commissioned by German cellist Benedict Klöckner as a companion piece for Bach’s Cello Suites. The composer was particularly inspired by Mr. Klöckner’s performance of the Gigue in Bach’s Cello Suite #6, and even incorporates some quotes from that piece in his composition. In his attempt to include other elements that referenced Mr. Klöckner’s homeland in Rhineland-Palatinate, he was inspired by the evocative landscapes and medieval castles of the region, as well as the legends associated with them. o 2. The Night Flower. Inspired by the poems of Baron Joseph von Eichendorff led him to becoming enamored with the idea of the delicate and elusive “blue flower” that represents the balance of humanity with nature and spirituality. The second movement attempts to provide a musical comment about the ephemeral beauty and significance of the night flower. o 3. Lorelei’s Redemption. This movement uses the Gregorian Chant Dies Irae (Day of Wrath) and variations of it to represent the chant of the Lorelei, in an attempt to incorporate the legend of the unfortunate maiden-turned-enchantress associated with one of the geologic features of the banks of the Rhine. o 4. A Hero’s Welcome. This movement synthesizes the various musical and extra-musical themes introduced throughout the piece, bringing back, among other things, the melodies associated with the Bach Gigue from the Cello Suite #6.

Mondnacht / The Night of the Moon / La Noche de la Luna
· Commissioned by Benedict Klöckner · Dedicated to Benedict Klöckner, Yury Revich and Danae Dörken · Length: 4 minutes · Mood: cinematic, lyrical · Description: The composer was inspired by the poem “Mondnacht” by Baron Joseph von Eichendorff and the idea of the light of the moon shimmering on the surface of a gently flowing river. This is a piece about how people can find beauty and serenity in life, in spite of seemingly unsurmountable difficulties. The light of the moon projecting its silver shimmery beauty onto the peaceful surface of a river, in spite of the turbulent undercurrent.

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.

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.

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

Despapaye
· 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.

Chez
· 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.

Frog Leaps
· Length: 1 minute · Description: 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 a pianist that decided to premiere it.

Hacia Belén (Towards Betlehem) - ARRANGEMENT
· Dedicated to Julie Reimann and Ellyses Kuan · Length: 4 minutes · Mood: playful, energetic, with flamenco influence in the intermediate section of the piece · Description: This is not an original composition, but rather a playful and fanciful arrangement of a well-known Christmas Carol from the XVIII Century by Antonio Soler (“Hacia Belén va una burra, rin rin”). This arrangement presents a fun and unexpected take on the Christmas carol that requires virtuosity from the pianist and the cellist, and can be very good as an ice-breaker or a closing piece in a Christmas program.
