Alcanza Suite No 9: Marea Alta (score and parts)Format: 82 page PDF digital downloadvoice, guitar, piano, bass, string quartet & drums
English: Description of Track: In this final movement, we come back to re-visit that beautiful shoreline we experienced in “Marea Baja” (the second movement of this suite). The difference this time however, is that it is high tide and the ocean water brings with it all of the adventures we have had since we last set foot on this sand. Musically, one hears a collage of motifs returning amid a backdrop of drums energetically providing the underlining pulse for the rest of the instruments to “swim” in. -Fabian Almazan


Español: En este último movimiento, revisitámos esa hermosa costa que vivimos en "Marea Baja" (segundo movimiento). La diferencia es que en esta ocasión, la marea está alta y el agua del océano trae consigo todas las aventuras que hemos tenido desde que pusimos pie en la arena la última vez. Musicalmente, se oye un "collage" de motivos que vuelven en medio de un fondo de tambores, proporcionando enérgicamente el pulso requerido para que el resto de los instrumentos puedan "nadar". -Fabian Almazan
