Luis Humberto Salgado: Chamber Music: Viola Sonata/Selene/Cello Sonata/Woodwind Quintet - Volume 1

2023 marks the 120th anniversary of the Luis Humberto Salgado?s birth. Luis Humberto Salgado was an essentially self-taught Ecuadorian composer inspired equally by the folk music of his country and by currents in contemporary modernism. He defined himself as a ?polytechnic? composer, absorbing folk motifs and individual dances into an eclectic, vibrant and highly personal idiom. This can be heard in the Viola Sonata where the lively sanjuanito indigenous dance is evoked in music of sophisticated harmonies. The Cello Sonata is more neo-Classical, while Selene commemorates the moon landing of 1969 in striking, unconventional sonorities. Salgado?s Woodwind Quintet combines pentatonic scales and serial techniques to create a ?polychrome fabric?.
