It was premiered at the Chautauqua Music Festival that summer by the New Arts Trio. The work evokes Argentine-Uruguayan tango idioms, recalling especially the neo-romantic and sentimental style of the early tango period between 1910 and 1940. The musical language is intense, dramatic and direct, becoming at times melodramatic and humorous. Written as an homage to Tango, TANGO TRIO does not follow the form, rhythm or style of the traditional Argentine dance, nor that of Piazzolla’s “Nuevo tango”. It is more often an abstraction of the dance and it contains elements from a broader spectrum of Latin American dances such as Brazilian Samba, and Uruguayan Milonga and Candombe. The piano often provides the sharp rhythmic beat characteristic of this dance, but occasionally blurs the beat with turbulent, virtuosic arpeggios. The tango rhythmic pattern is present through most of the work, but it undergoes several tempo meter transformations, becoming at times highly syncopated and varied through https://www.youtube.com/user/ClassicalNews https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcLyfLwkD6c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKBrnjxlKgU sdfhjefjh189efjkAFQ(I#(J_ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFY_TuJ9O9Q

The opera begins with a real event—the murder of Don Barelas in 1680. His daughter, Marcelina, is the tale's heroine, alongside her love, Don Ignacio--who, it turns out, killed her father. A curse dooms them to live forever, and, Albuquerque's tumultuous history becomes a part of Marcelina and Ignacio's relationship as it moves over 300 years of past and 200 years into the future about MIGUEL DEL AGUILA Two-time Grammy nominated American composer, Miguel del Aguila's prolific music output and distinctive musical style has placed him among the most highly regarded composers of his generation.

During the 90's Aguila's list of works grew as did the number of his recordings, performances and honors which by 1995 included the prestigious Kennedy Center Friedheim Award among many others. After residing in Vienna for ten years, Aguila returned to California in 1992, where soon Los Angeles Times critics welcomed him as "One of the West Coast's most promising and enterprising young composers."

http://www.migueldelaguila.com for sheet music: m@migueldelaguila.com trio for flute clarinet and piano SEDUCCIÓN music by Miguel del Aguila – Trio Tarantella SEDUCCIÓN - (Seduction) Trio for flute, clarinet and piano Trio Tarantella Tiago Canto, flute Susana Valente, clarinet Pedro Ramos, piano Recorded 2017 at Festival Antena 2 , Teatro da Trinidade, Lisbon, Portugal. publisher: Miguel del Aguila Publisher SEDUCCIÓN is one of six related works written by Miguel del Aguila in 2007. Other versions: violin/piano, flute/piano, clarinet/piano, flute/oboe/piano and flute/sax/ piano. These works share thematic material with each other. Commissioned to be performed alongside with Saint-Saëns: Tarantelle for Flute, Clarinet, and Piano, op. 6, the works begins with a lyrical and sensuous, song-like introduction evoking the style of the Brazilian Chôro and it quickly gives way to a frantic, restless dance. From then on, the work is propelled forward by a series of ostinatos and rhythmically irregular themes. Rhythm is here the captivating (seductive), element which often relegates the melodic material to a secondary role. This Latin dance, written mainly on 13/16 meter, begins with a percussive, almost primal theme that becomes increasingly breathless and ever-more-intense leading the work towards a final passionate climax. A tour de force for all three performers, Seducción demands not only stamina but outmost rhythmic accuracy through constantly shifting meters. Seducción was premiered in 2008 by Bach Dancing & Dynamite Society Festival Ensemble in Madison, Wisconsin. Trio Tarantella nasceu em 2014, fruto natural da amizade entre o flautista Tiago Canto, a clarinetista Susana Valente e o pianista Pedro Ramos, músicos que já por diversas vezes tinham trabalhado juntos. A cumplicidade existente entre os três juntou-os em Trio, e ela é não apenas visível nas actuações mas também audível, influindo necessariamente sobre a sua sonoridade. Para além do evidente prazer que a música proporciona aos seus elementos e que promete contagiar o seu público, o Trio interessa-se por uma grande diversidade de estilos e de épocas, procurando abranger um vasto reportório que se estende do período Barroco aos nossos dias, passando por diversas geografias musicais. O Trio tem também estreado com regularidade obras de compositores contemporâneos.

Trio for clarinet, violin and piano publisher: Miguel del Aguila Publisher ©Copyright 2017 by Miguel del Aguila All Rights Reserved for All Countries Trio Kavanah Danny Goldman, clarinet Grace Kang Wollett, violin Trevor Hale, piano Recorded live 9/9/2018 at Reunion Tower, Texas Rising violinist Grace Kang Wollett is one of the newest members of The Dallas Opera Orchestra. From South Korea, Grace began her violin studies at the age of eight in Nottingham, England. Eventually, she would move to New York City by herself at the age of fourteen to pursue her dream of becoming a professional violinist. Trevor Hale, native of Dallas, Texas, has received an extensive musical education during his career. He has earned a Bachelor Degree in piano from the University of Colorado in 2009 and a Masters from the University of Texas in 2011. Most recently, he obtained a Doctorate of Musical Arts in piano under the tutelage of Marc Durand and Jimmy Briere at the University of Montreal. Danny Goldman is a multi-faceted musician, clarinetist, and producer. He most recently became a core member of The Dallas Opera Orchestra and is also the liaison to the Board of Directors. Danny plays chamber music across the country: most recently, Brahms' Clarinet Quintet with The Amaryllis Quartet during The Chelsea Music Festival, Schoenbergs' Pierrot Lunaire with The New Fromm Players at Tanglewood Music Center, and Barber's Summer Music at the Basically Beethoven Festival in Dallas. DISAGREE: Overloaded with apparently incompatible thematic material, Disagree is a work about integrating disparity. By doing this, it celebrates and makes a statement for pluralism in music and in our society. This “disagreement” of thematic material carries over to the performers who as the work progresses seem to increasingly disagree about the piece and its direction as they keep interrupt and at times, mocking each other. After much discrepancy, friendly dialogue and playfulness, a confrontation and a wild chase rushes the piece to its uplifting conclusion as all realize that they have made music together in spite of their differences. The varied thematic material is evocative of South American dances like Malambo, Vals Criollo, Tango and Milonga with occasional neo-romantic outbursts from the pianist, minimalist passages from clarinetist and violinist, pastoral moods and dissonant, polytonal percussive clashes.
