Product Description

"On the beaches of Tijuana" August 2018

It is a sound work for chamber orchestral ensemble based on the traditional and anonymous Son Istmeño "La Llorona". Developed under a minimalist aesthetic influenced by ambient and experimental music. It fuses the themes of the traditional son with melodic and rhythmic motifs of popular Mexican rock songs also inspired by this traditional rhythm: "La muerte chiquita" by Café Tacuba and "Llorona" by Caifanes.

It is structured similar to the format of a rock song. Start with a long base note or drone. Introduction (intro) about a descending harmony in the key of La Menor. A melody as a "verse" and a different melody as "choir". Both melodies are presented and performed by different instruments with variations and different combinations of accompaniment and instrumentation. Variations of the thematic patterns and the ¨intro¨. A rhythmic-melodic experiment towards the end on the same descending harmonic progression as the "solo" part in a rock song. It ends with a fading orchestral atmosphere (outro). All oriented towards a minimalist style setting focused on melodic lines and emotional expressiveness.

For a chamber orchestra. Ideally a string septet consisting of:
2 violins. 2 violas. 2 cellos. 1 double bass.
Breaths: 1 trombone. 1 trumpet. 1 transverse flute. 1 Picollo flute. 1 Clarinet. 1 Oboe.
Percussion of a determined note. It can be a vibraphone. Xylophone (preferably) or marimba.
If it is not possible to use this type of instrument, that part is played an octave up on a piano. The number of instruments can be increased for each of the parts if needed and be convenient for the chamber orchestra in question.
The Tempo can vary between 95 and 115 bpm. The work is designed so that it can be performed mainly by youth and children's orchestras. Dedicated to Tijuana beaches.
