En el Mejor Momento de mi Vida
Title
En el Mejor Momento de mi Vida
Description
Dominican composer Darwin Aquino composed "En el Mejor Momento de mi Vida" (2013) for cello.
The description for the work provided on the composer's website states: "The traditional Chaconne, usually found in Baroque dance suites, can be identified by its anacruses and harmonic ostinati on the lower register. This principle, with some modifications, is taken to the Cello with its infinite resources. Unstable pickups, register changes, contrasting dynamics, and vigorous caribbean rhythms are juxtaposed with the “Canto a San Antonio”, one of the principal ceremonial songs in the dominican popular religious tradition. This work, composed as a “Caribbean Cappriccio” for solo Cello, was written for the Panamanian cellist Isaac Casal."
