Composition Notes Notas sobre la obra

Winner of Premio "Maestro Villa" 1985. In four movements 1. "Tocata" acts as the prelude of the piece starting with descending patterns of various distinctions including clusters, repeating ostinatos, and rhythmic elements which are later developed. 2. "Aria" Has an extended solo for the oboe over a sparsely orchestrated ostinato. The melody is repeated and developed in other orchestrations with other soloists. Some parts seem to be inspired by Shönberg's "Five Pieces for Orchestra" 3. "Rondó" Features a flüglehorn solo over orchestration as the primary theme then features a second section of a sextet of three flutes and three bassoons. After a return of the Flüglehorn theme another section features three oboes. 4. "Finale" Presents a twelve-tone series in chorale texture alternating with more rhythmic presentations. After extensive development with different orchestrations, a grand choral based on the twelve-tone row precedes a coda based on the beginning material from the first movement. Harmonic vocabulary is rich with tone clusters, vertical structures based on twelve-tone rows, with several kinds of color sonorities built on intervals of thirds, fourths and mixtures. The melodies are often atonal, but sometimes modal over an atonal accompaniment. Textures vary greatly with extensive polyphony contrasted with homophonic and block textures. Instrumentation utilizes virtuosic solos for several instruments including Eb clarinet, oboe and percussion.
