Cueto, D :: Surquillo (flute, piano)
Chaska Ediciones presents 'Surquillo' for flute and piano by Daniel Cueto.
This piece is a dance in the style of a Peruvian 'marinera nortena,' a courtship dance that uses handkerchiefs as a means of expression. As a musical genre, the Marinera fuses several different influences present in Peruvian culture: on one side, Spanish influences can be heard in the harmony, the melodic ornaments, and the metric structure that alternates between 3/4 and 6/8. At the same time, the use of bimodality is characteristic of Andean music. The Marinera also reveals influence of African music, especially in the use of the cajon, an instrument of Afro-Peruvian origin, which always accompanies the sung Marinera.
'Surquillo' was written for Cecilia Pinto, young violinist and Marinera dancer who is a good friend of the composer. Surquillo means 'small groove', and is the name of the Lima district where Cecilia lived for many years.
