| Description |
|---|
Argemarillo is the combination of Argentina, the commissioner’s birthplace and Amarillo, the Texas state flower, as well as where the commissioner currently resides. Movement 1 is based on and largely inspired by music of Alberto Ginastera as it begins with a slow intro and progresses to fast music with motifs of the duration of 11 eighth notes (alternating between measures of 4/4 and 3/8). The slow music in slow quadruple meter returns, along with its progression to the return of faster asymmetrical metered music to close the movement.
Movement 2, in an F minor mode features slower tango-like music with a ternary design. Movement 3, marked “Jazz/Pop-Like Tempo” in a Bb major mode is mostly in triple meter, also utilizing ternary form. |
