Triste y madrigal (2021) is structured as two
movements with a short pre-recorded interlude.
The interlude features sounds from the movie
‘Cita en la frontera’, specifically, the orchestral
music that accompanies the opening credits and
dialogue from a narratively climactic scene
between the protagonist (Luisa, played by
Lamarque) and a feisty young farmer (Chunguita)
(video). In Triste…the instruments work in pairs 1) soprano and violin 2) flute and French horn 3) harp and guitar.
These duos embellishing the melodic scaffolding provided by the sine waves in the tape part.
