Missing
from the original Triptych but present in this “sequel” are introductions
for the first and third movements. Infectious modulations give the closing piece
a strong polarization back to the tonic key (also not present in the third movement
of the first Triptych). Bold themes and creative development make this Triptych
just as impressive as the first!
Triptych No. 2 I.
Esperanza II. Vínculacion III. Fandanguillo
Mark Anthony Cruz performs his original composition, Esperanza, at Oklahoma City University on November 4th, 2010. Esperanza is one of three piece under the title, Triptych No. 2 (there is a post of all three movements from another performance). The collection was composed for 16 year-old guitarist Thales Smith.
