Azul Vivaz
This work evokes the sea’s dual nature—its serene beauty and powerful force—through contrasting themes: calm, lyrical passages reflect peaceful horizons, while rhythmic, intense sections embody the ocean’s majesty. Inspired by personal memories and environmental awareness, the piece celebrates the sea’s vitality and calls for its preservation and regeneration.
-
Fanfare Overture
This concert band piece focuses on the brass section, exploring a unique, idiomatic theme that showcases the beauty and character of these instruments.
-
Sulime
In a bold attempt to turn a not-so-serious tune into a regal parade march, a composer navigates the tricky world of solemnity and melody. The piece, charmingly named “Súlimë” (thanks, Tolkien!), celebrates both March and marching.
-
Suite Irlandesa
This composition, inspired by traditional Irish music, evolved from an initial flute and piano theme. The flute theme reappears as a fanfare in the finale, uniting three original pieces into a cohesive suite. Its rich heritage and creativity shine throughout.
