About the piece: Recuerdos Perdidos (lost memories) captures the recollection of near-death experiences witnessed by the grandfather character in Alejandro Casona’s fictional play La Dama del Alba. These recollections are important because they cause the grandfather to realize the true nature of the character La Peregrina, who is death personified and has visited his village multiple times. This work is part of a larger series of compositions that explore the interactions between La Peregrina and different characters of La Dama del Alba.
Written for the University of Georgia Wind Ensemble as the 2023–24 student composer in residence. Many thanks to the UGA composition area, Dr. Nicholas Williams, and the UGA Wind Ensemble for making this piece possible! Finally, heartfelt thanks to my high school Spanish teacher, Gladys Llanes, for introducing me to La Dama del Alba, a work that continues to inspire me many years later.
