This is a thrilling Concertino for Clarinet and Symphonic Band. The piece includes many of the technical, expressive, and timbral characteristics of the clarinet, as well as some flavors of the music of Colombia. The composer explores the three ranges of the clarinet (chalumeau, clarion, and altissimo) by devoting specific sections to each one, or by traveling through all of them in a free and connected way. The piece also explores some elements of extended techniques such as bisbigliando, multiphonics, or sing and play, as well as very challenging passages. This 'Colombian concertino' is full of characters including moments of intimacy, drama, happiness, freneticism, and euphoria.
