Program Notes
Fanfarria is based on the composer's grandfather and his journey to the United States from Cuba. It reflects on the experiences of migrant families. The music reflects on a vision of hope for a family working to succeed in a new environment. The music embodies emotions of worry, confusion, hope, honor, and celebration. The family is represented by the Latin rhythms and sounds of Cuba and the Dominican Republic. At times, this theme is absorbed by a menacing cloud of sounds (in a different key), representing a community that is not willing to accept change. This fanfare concludes with a celebration for change, acceptance, and love.
The work was premiered by the Pacific Symphony Youth Wind Ensemble, under the direction of Dr. Whitmore.
