Composed by Javier Alvarez. This edition: saddle-wire stitch. Sws. Score. With Standard notation. Peermusic Classical #61851-757. Published by Peermusic Classical (PR.618517570).
UPC: 680160430574.
The seminal idea for "Metro Chabacano" came from an earlier piece for string orchestra, "Canción de Tierra y Esperanza" which was subsequently revised for my friends in the Cuarteto Latinoamericano. The first performance took place in Mexico City at the grand opening of a kinetic art installation by Marcos Limenes, one of Mexico's most recognized artists. The installation was at the Metro Chabacano of the Mexico City subway system. "Metro Chabacano" has a continuous movement of moderately driving speed from which short melodic solos emerge from each instrument. Although the piece is brief and in a single movement the rhythms, accents and melodic fragments that emerge from the perpetual motion background are intricately playful. REVIEW: "The Alvarez - which was originally arranged for quartet to accompany an art installation in a Mexico City subway station - was excellent: rich, pliant, and proudly Latin." --Phil Johnson, The Independent (UK).
