Juangriego is one of my favorite places in Venezuela, I spent long vacations there in my adolescence, and I have the best memories of that bay of dramatic twilights.
I had not been living in Los Angeles, California for long when I wrote this Malagueña -my favorite Venezuelan musical genre- for solo cello, with 3 variations that respect the traditional harmonic turn, and a coda inspired by J.S. Bach Cello Suites.
I have the immense blessing of being good friends with world-class musicians, such as the virtuoso Venezuelan cellist José David Marquez, who was kind enough to learn this piece and work on it with me for months, until it sounded like a fisherman from Juangriego out at sea, at dawn, longing for his beloved.
