about

Venezuelan composer Andrés Eloy Rodríguez was the winner in 2004 of the “Aldemaro Romero” Soloist Festival, in the first version of this festival in Venezuela. He won the Municipal Music Award 2010, Brief Symphonic Work category, “Modesta Bor” Prize, with his work Ritual Episodes (2006). He repeated the same award in 2014 with his Concertino for Orquesta (2010). Mr. Rodriguez won Third Prize in the “Presénces” Composition Contest promoted by Radio France International and FUNDAMUSICAL BOLIVAR (2014). In 2015, he won the First Prize of the First National Contest of Composition “Symphonic Band June 24” in honor of the 93rd anniversary of this prestigious institution of the Carabobo State (Venezuela), with the work Suite of Yesterday and Today for symphonic band (2015). His works have been performed by groups such as the Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, Simón Bolívar Symphony, Caracas Municipal Symphony, National Philharmonic, Merida State Symphony, Miranda Symphony, among many others.

The Diptych from a Lockdown, Op. 28 (2020) is a work commissioned by the extraordinary American saxophonist Tim McAllister in conjunction with pianist Liz Ames. Composed in 2020, it consists of two completely contrasting movements. The first, Evocative, is a slow and bucolic tune in character. It shows the expressive qualities of the saxophone as a solo instrument. In the middle of the movement there is a short cadenza, which extends to the entire range of the instrument. The second movement, Ademareado, featuring an energetic and lively character, is a brief tribute to the Venezuelan Maestro Aldemaro Romero. This composer’s decision is due to the fact that the Venezuelan work for sax that is best known in the world is his Latin American Quartet for Saxophones. Hence the need to pay a humble tribute to him for his musical contribution to the musical world. This movement has several very characteristic elements of the music of Romero as well as some brief quotes from some of his most important popular works. In the same way, it incorporates, within a tonal context, characteristic effects of the sax used in other types of music, such as slap-tonguing.
-Andrés Eloy Rodríguez
