Unter dem Sternenhimmel des Rheins Under the starry sky of the Rhein / Bajo el cielo estrellado del Rín
· Commissioned by and dedicated to Benedict Klöckner · Length: 4 minutes · Mood: epic, cinematic, lyrical · Description: This piece was commissioned by German cellist Benedict Klöckner as a companion piece for Bach’s Cello Suites. The composer was particularly inspired by maestro 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 maestro Klöckner’s homeland in Rhineland-Palatinate, he was inspired by the evocative landscapes and medieval castles of the region.

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.

Cantabrigian Reflections / Reflexiones de Cambridge
· Commissioned and dedicated by maestros Carlos Prieto and Yo-Yo Ma. · Length: 5 minutes · Description: The title of the piece makes reference to Cambridge, a city that has played an important role in the lives of Yo-Yo Ma, Carlos Prieto and José Elizondo. In the words of the composer: « One of my sources of inspiration was my memories of the Charles River in Cambridge. The reflections of the trees and skyline are modified and "recreated" by the gentle waves, sometimes becoming a bit fuzzier but sometimes transforming themselves into something that can be even more fanciful and interesting than the original image. When one reflects upon things, our experience of memories can be a little bit like that too, since our memories don’t simply capture snapshots of reality, but rather of an interpretation of reality that has been modified, distorted or enhanced by our minds, according to our outlook and life experience. The conversation between the two cellos in this piece sometimes uses imitation to evoke the idea of images and their reflections. The melodic "images" are sometimes reflected accurately and sometimes modified or expanded. These musical motives and their reflections can be complementary, or their differences might propel each other in unexpected directions, but they always keep flowing gently, like a river. The cello melodies are sprinkled with longer high notes that are like the shimmering sun light caressing the surface of the water. Since this piece was written in 2020, I wanted to write a piece that is positive, warm and uplifting, like a gentle caress that compassionately embraces the listener in consolation of all people went through during 2020. It is a composition that gently invites us to have a moment of serene, optimistic reflection, but also gratitude for those shimmering moments that we still have in our lives. This piece is in the key of G (the note G is also known as “sol”, which means ”sun” in Spanish) so I clearly wanted to write something sunny and luminous. At the very heart of this piece, the “current” of this piece takes us to a place where we hear 8 measures from the Minuet in Bach’s monumental Cello Suite #1. It is meant as an homage to Bach, but also to maestros Prieto and Ma. The first time I heard the Bach suites (live or in a recording) was during a concert that maestro Prieto gave in Boston in the late 90s. That concert inspired me and changed my life. And of course, maestro Ma's recordings of Bach's Suites are iconic and have accompanied me and comforted my soul in many important moments of my life. Since this takes inspiration from a physical river, I also wanted to pay homage to the greatest “river” of all in Classical Music: J. S. Bach, (Bach means “brook” or “stream” in German). His music is an endless source of inspiration and awe. »

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.

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.

· 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.
