NUEVAS PIEZAS Y ALGO MAS
Hola,
La semana pasada fué bien
emocionante! Mi pieza "Keep Your Dragon on a Leash" (algo asi como
"Mantén tu Dragón Amarrado"), que había sido seleccionada como la
pieza ganadora del UNC Jazz Composition Contest (categoría doctoral), fué
tocada por la UNC Jazz Lab 1. Lo hicieron tremendamente bien!! Es una pieza
dificil de tocar pero ellos hicieron un gran trabajo. Fue conducida por Dana
Landry.
El titulo... no, no viene
de una película o libro. El "Dragón," de mi punto de vista, se
refiere a la manera en que mucha gente te quiere desanimar de hacer lo que
estas soñando hacer, tan pronto les mencionas de tus planes. Asi que yo digo “guárdatelo
para tí” (amarrado) y dejame seguir mi camino y hacer lo que siento que quiero
hacer.
En otra nota, (Bb)…
-chiste–, también subí una pieza para orquesta de jazz, “Mi Point of View” (Mi
Punto de Vista). Esta grabación fué de un concierto de la Nashville Jazz
Orchestra, conducida por un servidor hace un par de años. Puedes escucharla en
este link:

Dicho sea de paso, esta
pieza también ganó el UNC Jazz Composition Contest en 2009-2010.
También subí una de las
piezas de mi album “Sueños” titulada “Vuelo de Pegaso.” Esta pieza cabe más en
la categoría de fusion (Rock/Jazz). Escúchala en:
http://soundcloud.com/socwand7/vuelo-de-pegaso
Espero disfruten estas
piezas. La próxima vez pienso comenzar con algo educativo.
Bendiciones a todos,
SG
NEW MUSIC AND STUFF
Hi all,
Last week was really exciting! My piece "Keep Your Dragon on a Leash," that had been previously selected as the winner of the UNC Jazz Composition Contest (Doctoral category), was performed by UNC Jazz Lab I. A great performance! It is a hard piece to perform but they did a great job with it. Dana Landry conducted it.
The title... nope, it did not come from a movie or book. The "Dragon," from my point of view, refers to the way many people want to discourage you from doing what you are dreaming of doing, as soon as you talk about it. So, what I say is "just keep it to yourself"(on a leash) and let me follow my path and do what I feel I want to do.
On another note (Bb)...–joke–, I also uploaded a piece for jazz orchestra, "My Point of View." This recording was a performance by the Nashville Jazz Orchestra, conducted by yours truly a couple of years ago. You can listen to it here:
http://soundcloud.com/socwand7/my-point-of-view
By the way, this piece also won the UNC Jazz Composition Contest in 2009-2010.
I also uploaded one of the pieces from my album "Suenos" (Dreams), entitled "Flight of Pegasus." This one is more on the fusion (Rock/jazz) vein. You can listen this one at:
http://soundcloud.com/socwand7/vuelo-de-pegaso
I hope you enjoy these pieces. Next time I'll begin with some educational stuff.
Blessings to all,
SG
