'Casita de Campo' is one of the most popular love songs from the Dominican Republic. It describes a modest, and yet beautiful, little rural house in the Cibao region where the composer evokes the consummation of a passionate and virginal love. It is a 'canci—n-bolero,' a typical Caribbean romantic song form in quadruple meter, slow-paced, which is also a centerpiece of serenades. 'Chanfl’n' is a typical Dominican merengue in its melody and form. Chanfl’n is a young woman, very good looking. The merengue section refers to a 'neighborhood gossip.' The jaleo section refers to Chanfl’n dressing in a finicky manner. 'La Lluvia' is a folk melody from Ecuador traditionally played on the siku Ð the double row of panpipes that have been used in the high Andes for over a thousand years. With percussion. 'Son de Camaguey' is a Cuban folk song from which the composer takes the refrain and then frames it with kaleidoscopic patters of ostinati inspired by the song, and by Afro-Cuban music in general. 'O Sapo' - In this irresistible Brazilian song setting, vocal lines imitate percussion patterns to create a truly infectious groove. Newly arranged for SSATB chorus. With optional percussion. |
