Description: "The Dawn of Hope" is a composition
about the journey from darkness to light. Just as the light of the rising sun

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. |

Commissioned by and

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. |

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. |

Length: 10 minutes total for all 3 movements (each

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. |

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. |

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. |

Length: 4 minutes ·
Mood: lyrical, tender ·
Description: Princesa de Hadas was commissioned by Argentine poet
Patricio Méndez in 1996. The orchestral version was created for Şefika Kutluer, who has championed it around the world.
The title of this piece refers to a verse from a poem by Méndez, where he

deliberately simple, tonal, and lyrical, in an attempt to evoke the innocence
and romanticism of the world created by the poet for his fairy tale princess. |

·
Dedicated to Turkish
flutist Sefika Kutluer ·
Length: 8:30 minutes ·
Mood: lyrical, romantic ·
Description: Şefika’s
Menuetto is a sweet and lyrical piece. The composer chose musical material he
had written during some of the most memorable moments of his life, revisiting
and reinterpreting it to create an amalgamated canvas upon which he could
present new flute melodies, created for Sefika Kutluer, that are at times
playful and uplifting, and at times nostalgic and more meditative. |
