Luso-American Duo (Virginia Figueiredo - clarinet, and Lorenzo Sanchez - piano)

Program: Arturo Marquez: zarabandeo Domingo Lobato: sonata for clarinet and piano, mov. 1,2, and 3 Pauito D’Rivera: Cape Cod Files: mov. 2 and 4 Program note: Domingo Lobato’s Sonata for clarinet and piano was composed in 1963. It consists of three movements and was originally written for oboe. As a whole, it may be considered to be a work of Mexican Impressionism. The opening movement begins with polytonal chords in the piano part, which later give way to a lyrical melody played by the clarinet. Lobato’s ingenious treatment of Sonata-form allows the lyricism to permeate the movement. The clarinet is featured in a Cadencia fantasia before the return of the first theme. The second movement takes the listener to Lobato’s home state of Michoacán. In conversations with the composer, he described various programmatic ideas present in this movement. In the opening, the piano paints an atmospheric evening near a church preceding a religious festival. Outside the church, musicians warm up for the dancing festivities that are to take place later. Inside the church, the solo clarinet intones the rosary’s Santa Maria recited by the pious villagers. The musicians outside are heard from time to time. As in a film, the music continues to shift scenes depicting the various activities.
