Description
This piece was composed in 2000-2001 in Greensboro, NC. The title, according to notes in the score, is that of a two-part Spanish-American folk dance with roots in modern-day New Mexico. The music is pitch-centric, although this aspect is more evident in the rhythmically challenging first movement. The lyrical and expansive second movement uses harmonics very effectively. No other extended techniques are called for. The full range up to Eb5 is used.
