Nubes Aztecas (Invocación y Canto) Brent Heisinger
Commissioned by Daniel Hughes, director of the Choral Project, Nubes
is
an a capella work based on ideas from Aztec poetry and musical
practices sung
in Spanish and English. Two texts are used: an anonymous Aztec poem
Ode
to King Totoquihautzin, and Snake Wheel by contemporary
poet
Francisco X. Alarcon. Unique qualities of Aztec Clouds
include the
interplay of the two languages, the exchanges of the divided choir
(three smaller
groups) clapping and singing Aztec drumming syllables, and the
otherwise musical
effort to forge the marriage of the two disparate poems of Aztec
lineage. Brent Heisinger
