Nuevas Músicas Argentinas
ARTIS Chamber Orchestra presents “NUEVAS MÚSICAS ARGENTINAS”, with works by composers Jorge Mockert, Guillo Espel and Ezequiel Diz, featuring Ángel Frette on marimba. The works composed for chamber orchestra and soloist are inspired by the melodic and rhythmic essence of the various musical aspects of Argentina.
Jorge Mockert (Paraná, Entre Ríos; 1958-2008): “Ginasterium” concert for marimba, string´s orchestra and percussion (2005). First recording. Soloist: Ángel Frette.
The work is a tribute to the great Argentine composer Alberto Ginastera and was dedicated to marimba soloist Ángel Frette who deploys a wide range of technical, rhythmic resources and nuances together with the percussion set and the string orchestra, merging the spirit of the popular music and the chamber orchestra.
Guillo Espel (Buenos Aires): “El Círculo Imaginado” for chamber orchestra (2021). Work commissioned by ARTIS Chamber Orchestra.
Guillo Espel says: “The imagined circle is intended to be a space of freedom, only inserted in an organised formal scheme, something which us composers can rarely dissociate ourselves from. I would invite to a free listening, to delve into the work with the same character with which I wrote it. However, a simple rondo form, which has explicit presence, gives a tripartite circularity and that is no stranger to the Western tradition of academic music writing. Perhaps not sought, the Circle then closes at its starting point.”
Ezequiel Diz (Rosario, Santa Fe): String Concerto No. 1 (2005).
Immersed within an aesthetic called chamber tango, Ezequiel Diz’s String Concerto No. 1 encompasses all the virtuosity of a concertante musical work, combining academic music features with those of contemporary tango.
