Excursión a la Montaña
Description
Mexican composer José L Elizondo composed "Excursión a la Montaña" in dedication to flutist Kim Sopata.
As described on the composer's website: "Excursión a la Montaña tells the story of the first excursion of a child to the top of a little mountain. Stylistically, the piece is inspired by the music of Debussy and Prokofiev. In addition to impressionistic harmonies, it incorporates elements of Mexican music and Spanish Flamenco music. This piece was originally written for a friend of the composer, flutist Kim Sopata. This piece has been championed, in particular, by flutists Orlando Cela and Sefika Kutluer, who have performed it extensively around the world. This piece was premiered by Kim Sopata on April 17th, 1995 at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. The orchestra version was created especially for Turkish flutist Sefika Kutluer and was performed for the first time in her album “Latin Romance” by Sefika, accompanied by the Bratislava Strings Orchestra, conducted by Marian Lejava. The recording took place on 2013 in Slovakia." Composed for Flute, arranged also for Alto Sax, Bassoon, Oboe, and Cello. (Scores available via website)
