__________________________________
This work was kindly commissioned by Salvadoran conductor Paula Burgos for her graduation recital in Costa Rica.
The work is a challenge to any conductor. Its complexity in range and expression drives into a powerful force that reinforces the nature of the text.
The work begins moving between different tonal centers landing finally when the choir sings "Aquí hoy digo:" from that moment harmony get more "stable". The choir should be very expressive while presenting the phrases. The work has two climax points. The first is presented on bar 59: "Tu voz, tus ojos" while the second is at the very end of the piece: "pero se vive" (bars 125 132). This passage could be very challenging because of the range (specifically in the basses) and because of the dynamic range going from pp (pianissimo) to fff (fortississimo).
The work is dedicated to Paula wishing her an exciting career as a conductor and music educator.
