 Dominic Dousa
Composed for percussion soloist Abraham Arteaga and Harmony Project Phoenix, La
Carrera is an energetic showpiece for solo xylophone with band accompaniment. Its title (Spanish for “The Race”) reflects the piece’s constant sense of drive, as well as the ebullient enthusiasm for car racing displayed by my son and nephew, who have grown up in a bilingual environment. Special thanks to Diogo Pereira, program director of Harmony Project Phoenix, and Melanie Brooks, conductor and graduate of the doctoral conducting program at Arizona State University, for their work in promoting mixed-grade-level pieces that afford young musicians the opportunity to shine on stage as soloists. |
