Title A name given to the resource Juan Soldado Suite Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2009 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Martin, Andrés Description An account of the resource Argentinian composer Andrés Martin wrote the "Juan Soldado Suite" for solo bass, a work with seven contrasting movements. <br /><br />On the website of the Juan Soldado Suite, Martin writes: "The piece uses the complete range of the instrument, exploring a variety of timbres and techniques, enriched by the use of basic electronic effects (Reverb, Delay, Chorus, etc.) which enhance the timbral variety and amplify certain harmonics and multiphonics. [...] Many of the movements of the Juan Soldado Suite are about different states of mind, such as “Rage” (musically describing Juan Soldado running for his life and the executors shooting him, watched by many of Tijuana´s citizens who wanted justice and to see him die…) or the “Elegy”, which imagines what Juan Soldado sang to himself when informed that he was sentenced to die. “The Myth” describes how the stories and rumors that began surfacing after his death grew and grew, until they brought to life the Myth of Juan Soldado, the Saint of Migrants. How can someone start as a murderer and rapist and end up being a Saint??? The Juan Soldado Suite does not intend to tell a linear story or be a descriptive work. The piece is inspired by this particular story, but also speaks to broader human ideas and experiences. Some movements of the Juan Soldado Suite for Solo Bass are currently published by the American publisher Really Good Music and can be purchased at their website: <a href="https://www.reallygoodmusic.com">www.reallygoodmusic.com</a>."
