Program Notes by José Elizondo:
"Chez" is among the composer’s earliest
works, characterized by a straightforward structure in rondo form. Its
melodies reflect the composer’s heartfelt appreciation for the rich
traditions of Mexican and Spanish music. The piece had its debut performance
on January 24, 2003, in Hudson, Massachusetts, where Laura Vincent and Aaron Larget-Caplan presented its flute and guitar arrangement
with great warmth and expression.
In later years, Turkish virtuoso flutist Sefika Kutluer introduced "Chez" to audiences in Asia
and the Middle East, bringing its melodies to new corners of the world. In
2013, she recorded the flute and orchestra version in Slovakia, accompanied
by the Bratislava String Orchestra. This interpretation added depth to the
piece’s charm while preserving its simplicity and evocative nature."
