Danzas Latinoamericanas
Title
Danzas Latinoamericanas
Description
Mexican composer José L. Elizondo composed "Danzas Latinoamericanas" (Latin American Dances) by commission from Mexican cellist Carlos Prieto (to whom the composition is also dedicated).
The work has three movements, which can be performed as a suite or independently:
1. Otoño en Buenos Aires (Autumn in Buenos Aires) - a "passionate tango that pays homage to the music of Astor Piazzolla and Carlos Gardel."
2. Pan de Azúcar (Sugar Loaf Mountain) - "is named after the famous mountain in Rio de Janeiro. It is inspired by Brazilian bossa nova. It echoes the sensuous music of Antonio Carlos Jobim and Heitor Villa-Lobos. The melodies in this piece are expressive, melancholic and peaceful, with a general mood of 'joyful serenity'."
3. Atardecer Tapatío (Sunset in Guadalajara) - "is inspired by Mexican jarabe folk-dance music and the sound of 'mariachi' bands. The music is worry-free, festive and full of life. It is a tribute to the composer's homeland."
The work has been arranged for Flute, English Horn and various other instruments. Available here: https://www.joseelizondo.com/scores-danzas.html
