It’s time to continue our Colombian Contemporary Music Week, here at Musica in Extenso and to meet new composers.
My name is Andrea ( @studyingandrea ) and this week I will contribute to this blog as a Guest-Editor. As a regular follower of Musica in Extenso, I observed that this blog often presents female composers, so for today I tought that would be a good idea to talk about a colombian female contemporary composer.
Carolina Noguera Palau is a colombian Composer, born in Cali, Colombia in 1979.
Recognized for representing the different cultures of the country in her music, collecting folkloric music and taking them as basis of her work. She expresses her ideas in atonal language, exploring different textures and tone colors. She teaches music composition, and is an active composer.
Fiestas de Pubenza is a carnival celebrated in January in Popayán, Cauca (department of Colombia) to honour and celebrate the racial diversity in the country.
This piece is divided in three movements: I. El tiempo de la Fiesta (Time of Festivities) II. Arrullo Celeste (Celestial Lullaby) and III. Resonancias temporales (Temporal Resonances), and it’s written for flute, clarinet, viola, cello and piano.
