Obertura Tanguera. (There is also a version for chamber orchestra)

OBERTURA TANGUERA

Fue escrita en 1993 tras un encargo de la enti­dad de Coros y orquestas juveniles de México. Su estreno se llevó a cabo dos años después por la Orquesta Sinfónica “Carlos Chávez”, bajo la dirección del maestro Fernando Lozano. Según palabras de su autor, “el nombre de Obertura Tanguera se refiere a los giros melódi­cos y rítmicos propios del tango en su expre­sión más moderna, constituyendo un homenaje a Astor Piazzolla que había fallecido pocos meses antes de comenzar a componerla. La obra tiene una estructura tripartita, con una breve introducción que de­semboca en un tema rápido, una sección cen­tral de tema lento y expresivo que ejecutan las cuerdas, que van en crescendo hasta la reexpo­sición del tema rápido, llegando a su clímax en el final.

TANGUERA OVERTURE

It was written in 1993 commissioned by the institution Choirs and youth orchestras of Mexico. Its premiere took place two years later by the “Carlos Chávez” Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of maestro Fernando Lozano. In the words of its author, “the name of Obertura Tanguera refers to the melodic and rhythmic turns of tango in its most modern expression, constituting a tribute to Astor Piazzolla who had died a few months before beginning to compose it. The work has a tripartite structure, with a short introduction that leads to a fast theme, a central section of a slow and expressive theme played by the strings, which go in crescendo until the re-exposition of the fast theme, reaching its climax at the end.
