Program Notes

Tríptico para Flauta y Banda de Vientos was inspired in the increasing levels of flute performance and the growing number of flute players in Colombia. The piece is designed according to the traditional classic concerto structure: fast –slow –fast. It offers technical challenges to the soloist, particularly due to the intensity and intricacy of the rhythmic treatment, its high melodic activity, and the inclusion of diverse languages, including tonal, modal, polytonal, atonal, as well as sections with extended techniques.

As the majority of the pieces by Gómez, this work uses a lot of rhythms from the Colombian tradition. Movements first and third are based on energetic rhythms from the Caribbean and Pacific coasts, such as fandango, cumbia, currulao, and mapalé. The second movement is very lyrical and alternates rhythms from the central part of Colombia such as danza and guabina.

Tríptico para Flauta y Banda de Vientos was composed in 2012 and was awarded the National Music Prize in Composition by the Ministry of Culture of Colombia in the same year. The piece has been played in Colombia, Argentina, Spain, and the Netherlands.
