the Robert Schumann Hochschule in Dsseldorf, studying with
Michael Faust and Andr Sebald and graduating with honors.

exploring the innate possibilities and complexities of the
various musical cultures of Peru. Motivated by his broad
performing experiencein classical, contemporary and
traditional Peruvian musical styles, Daniel attempts to
rediscover and reconfigure the relationship between Western
and non-Western elements in the music of his country, striving
to developan artistic language that is richly influenced by
contrasting yet equally ancient heritages.

Como compositor, Daniel tiene especial inters por explorar las

posibilidades y complejidades innatas de diversas tradiciones
musicales peruanas. Motivado por su amplia experiencia
interpretativa de la msica clsica, contempornea y tradicional
peruana, Daniel pretende redescubrir y reconfigurar la relacin
entre los elementos occidentales y no occidentales en las
msicas de su pas, desarrollando un lenguaje artstico con rica
influencia de tradiciones contrastantes e igualmente milenarias.

Professor Friedrich Jaecker at the Hochschule fr Musik und

Prisma
Commentary by the composer

Comentarios del autor

Prisma is strongly influenced by Andean popular music. It is

based on pentatonic scales, and includes a middle section in
the rhythm of a huayno one of the oldest and most popular
musical genres in the Americas.

Prisma lleva fuerte influencia de la msica popular andina.

Est basada en escalas pentatnicas, e incluye una seccin
central a ritmo de huayno uno de los gneros musicales ms
antiguos y difundidos de Amrica.

Prisma is the Spanish word for prism, a device which can be

used to dispersewhite light into the colors of the rainbow.

El prisma es un instrumento ptico capaz de desdoblar la luz

blanca en los colores del arco iris.

Prisma is the clear light of a flute unfolding into a flourish of

Andean color.

Prisma es la luz blanca de una flauta que se desdobla en

colores andinos.

: breath sound (no tone)

The rhythmic figures that are written using this notehead
(starting at bar 49) imitate the typical rhythmic pattern of the
charango (a traditional small guitar-like instrument) in huayno
music. The syllables to be tongued are written on top of the
staff. The small rests that are embedded in the pattern are an
essential part of its flow. These rests will occasionally have
breath marks over them, in which case our inhalation
becomes part of the rhythmical feel of the huayno.

: golpe de aire (sin tono)

Las figuras rtmicas escritas con este signo (desde el comps
49) imitan el rasgueo tpico del charango en el huayno. Las
consonantes con las que se articulan estos sonidos se
encuentran sobre el pentagrama. Los breves silencios
intercalados en el patrn son parte esencial del mismo.
Ocasionalmente, estos silencios llevan marcas de respiracin,
en cuyo caso la inhalacin se convierte en parte de la
sensacin rtmica del huayno.

Towards the end of the piece, as is marked in the score, the

flutist will slowly turn around and walk off the stage while still
playing. He or she will continue playing for a while off-stage,
repeating or varying freely on the same motifs, ignoring any
applause if it comes while the flute can still be heard. Getting
farther and farther away, the flutist will stop playing when the
flutes sound has completely faded out from the stage. Then
he or she may return for the applause.

Hacia el final, como est indicado en la partitura, el (la) flautista

se dar vuelta lentamente y caminar hacia fuera del escenario
sin dejar de tocar. Seguir tocando fuera del escenario por un
tiempo, repitiendo o variando libremente los mismos motivos,
ignorando los aplausos si llegan mientras la flauta sea audible.
Alejndose cada vez ms, el (la) flautista se detendr cuando
el sonido de la flauta se haya desvanecido por completo del
escenario. Entonces podr volver por los aplausos.
