The term “Adagio” in music symbolizes a reflective journey, a pace that allows us to discern and cherish the intricate pieces of a grand composition. Likewise, in the whirlwind of our daily lives, embracing an “adagio” state offers us a serene moment to breathe, to step back, and to reconnect with the profound stillness within. This inner “adagio” becomes the bridge that unites each note of our existence into a harmonious whole—a theme I am eager to share with you here.
This is a composition of exceptional depth, where the flute and piano intertwine their voices in a delicate yet powerful dialogue. As you listen, I invite you to immerse yourself in the literal echoes and repetitions that weave through the melodies of the first half of the movement. These motifs lead to a majestic and triumphant conclusion, leaving each listener suspended in a spellbound reverie long after the final notes have faded.

As the year draws to a close, I invite to all of you, dear subscribers, to take a moment for quiet, inner reflection with a special piece I'm attaching to this newsletter. The track, “Silent Manger,” invites us to pause and reflect. The word 'manger,' from the Latin Manducare, means "to eat." We need a spiritual nourishment that comes from the meeting of our hearts and souls. This spiritual journey begins on the day the baby Jesus was born. Musically, this special track is a beautiful partner to "Away in the Manger" and "Silent Night." May it bring you peace and contemplation during this special time. Happy New Year!

Ballad
Love, not confined to a mere definition, but expressed in its vastness, offers countless ways to describe its grandeur. With infinite phrases, sentences, and forms, its impact is boundless. The uniqueness of the Ballad lies in its ability to capture this essence; it transcends mere description and becomes a musical, ethereal tale of a love that, from the very first sight, is destined to be eternal. As the music unfolds, this love story gracefully blooms on the dance floor. Each guitar tune suspends time, marking moments that linger through the refrain.

This composition was specially created for a tv show segment to bridge the end of the program with the closing credit. It seamlessly connects the program’s conclusion with the acknowledgement of those who contributed. The piece serves as the show’s signature tune, with its melody emphasized by repeating musical phrases across different tessituras. It functions like a herald, announcing something significant on the horizon.

A Sechs Klavierstücke, a collection of six keyboard pieces, harmonically intertwined to convey peace and beauty. Each piece embodies a sense of magical foreboding, a testament to Brahms’ flair for dramatic expression. His “Sechs Klavierstücke,” Op. 118, showcases the maturity of his style, blending profound emotion with technical mastery.
I am delighted to share my own “Sechs Klavierstücke,” a reflection of my artistic journey in the world of music. This track represents the milestones and outcomes of my musical development, capturing the essence of my creative path.

Huapango
There are many things that can be said about Huapango; it is so masterfully designed that it showcases a robust musical structure, maintaining transparency from beginning to end. José Pablo Moncayo, its composer, crafted it to resemble the most balanced equation. The way it begins resonates perfectly with the conclusion of the piece.
On a personal note, Huapango is linked to a dear friend’s father who proudly introduced it to me as a musical landmark of Mexican culture. Sadly, he passed away not long after our visit to his lovely home in Campeche, Mexico. I created this arrangement as a tribute to a cherished cultural friendship.

VELVET SHOES (ARR)
The timeless poem written by Elinor Wylie, ‘Velvet Shoes’ is an invitation not only to immerse into the tranquility and peaceful environment of the white winter but also through every corridor of existence itself.
We, the earthly wanderers, seek that elusive estate of being- the tranquil heart, the peaceful mind- across all seasons of life.
And so, dear subscriber, my intention echoes yours: to convey this timeless pursuit. We yearn for stillness amid life’s tempests, for moments when the world hushes its clamor, and we slip into the velvet shoes of contemplation. Whether in snow or under a blazing sun, we seek that inner quietude- the sanctuary where our souls find rests.
Velvet Shoes, indeed - a whispered promise, a silent invitation to explore the vast estate of being.

The composition known as “Evening Prayer” transcends mere temporal boundaries; it reaches beyond the confines of a specific moment. Each listener’s experience of this piece is deeply personal, perhaps diverging significantly from Engelbert Humperdinck’s own perspective. Him as the composer and me as the arranger, our viewpoints may not align, but we share a common thread: this piece found its place in the opera Hansel and Gretel” as a prayer of hope. The word ‘evening’ carries profound symbolism- it represents not only the close of day but also the potential for salvation. Within its syllables lies the transformative power of children’s voices, echoing through its performance.
Dearest subscribers, I hope you enjoy this piece as I enjoyed arranging it.

For Unto Us a Child is Born
“For Unto Us a Child is Born '' shines like a delicate beam of light within George Frideric Handel’s magnificent masterpiece. On its own, this musical passage possesses the power to convey a perfect nuance of richness, seamlessly transitioning the focus from the soloist to the chorus. Handel’s artistry delicately blends elements of opera and oratorio, giving birth to a new form of religious drama- a revelation beautifully showcased in “The Messiah.” Handel’s work value was confirmed by having Beethoven’s admiration; one of his utterances of recognition has been kept as a testimony when he wrote that Handel had the ability to achieve “vast effects with simple means.”
Dearest subscribers, I hope you enjoy this special arrangement.

Overture to Xerxes
I hope that this arrangement “Overture to Xerxes” can project the vibrant energy George Friderik Handel posits in this piece. The metamorphosis unfolded resonates to the alchemy process of obtaining gold from lead. Handel came to live in the spotlight of fame. He was recognized as a great composer and was loved as the greatest music star of his time. Dearest subscribers, I am sending you this special track hoping you enjoy it.
