Program Notes

The initial inspiration for Vuelo was seeing birds and planes flying through the sky, zooming past and through towering clouds. Their constant relentless pursuit through the heavens to reach their destination regardless of the turbulent winds that try to push them back and down.

Vuelo serves as a musical depiction of that pursuit while admiring the beautiful scenery of our atmosphere.

- Program Note by composer


Vuelo is Spanish for "flight."
