Compositions

Choral music compositions

Traditional Venezuelan children’s song is arranged in the joropo style where the singers imitate the sounds of the Venezuelan harp and the cuatro.

Afro-Puerto Rican rhythm that was also a popular musical form among sugar-cane workers. The rhythm has its roots in West Africa, and in Diana Sáez’s engaging original work, the singers establish the rhythm in a clever introduction.

El Río

Traditional song from the Andes Mountains of Peru with a piano part that beautifully captures the spirit of a Latin American guitar and vocal lines.
