Canciones de Cuna (Flute and Piano)
Description
Canciones de Cuna by Daniel Cueta
Three beautiful lullabies inspired by different geographical and cultural regions of Peru.
Program Notes
"Canciones de Cuna" was commissioned by Pablo Acosta, a Peruvian flutist and entrepreneur based in Chicago and a friend of the composer. Both Pablo Acosta and Daniel Cueto were students of Lima-based flutist and composer Cesar Peredo, from whom they inherited a passion to create and promote a new flute repertoire that is distinctly Peruvian in its roots. For "Canciones de Cuna", Pablo requested from Daniel a set of new Peruvian lullabies that could authentically function as such in a real-world setting (beyond the concert stage), and that could be played with or without piano accompaniment.
Three beautiful pieces were born, each inspired by the musical traditions of a different geographical region. "Canción Costeña" (Coastal Lullaby) is based on the genre of the Afro-Peruvian panalivio, somewhat similar to a habanera. "Canción Andina" (Andean Lullaby) is influenced by the huayno genre, and "Canción Amazónica" (Amazonian Lullaby) is inspired by traditional shipibo songs known as ícaros, as well as newer pan-Amazonian commercial dance music.
The lullabies can be performed in many different contexts, whether as a set (in any order) or individually.
