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. |

unsurmountable difficulties. The light of the moon projecting its silver
shimmery beauty onto the peaceful surface of a river, in spite of the

Smile (La Sonrisa de Céfiro)
·
I. Papalotes / Kites

II. Rehiletes / Windmills

III. Luces de Bengala / Sparklers
|
||||||||||
·
Length: 5 minutes ·
Mood: playful, light,
energetic ·
Movements: Three movements.
They can be played as a suite or independently. ·
Description: Each of the three
movements in this suite is named after a toy that requires the gentle action
of the wind to function. Since Zephyr is the most celebrated wind in music
and poetry for its gentle, benevolent breeze, it seemed appropriate to
anthropomorphize him and imagining him smiling at these images that bring
back joyful moments of childhood and celebration. This composition is meant
to be light-hearted, joyful and full of energy. |

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
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. |

Princesa de Hadas (Fairy Tale Princess)
|
||||||||||
·
Commissioned by
Prof. Patricio F. Mendez ·
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
describes his beloved as a “fairy tale princess.” The musical material is
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. |

the composer facing adversity and seemingly undefeatable illness. Through the
clouds of pain and distress, he catches a glimpse of luminous images of hope

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. |
