del Águila - Silence for clarinet and orchestra (Score)

Written in 2013, Silence is a slow, nostalgic and introspective work. Its simple structure is dominated by a recurring lyrical theme which contains elements from 1940’s Latin Jazz/Tango. This highly melodic and expressive work was inspired by the sudden passing of the composer’s brother Nelson del Águila, and it expresses the sadness of this loss. The title Silence refers to the void or emptiness left by a person who’s absent. A voice who is no longer heard. Silence was premiered 2013 by Guillermo Figueroa and Miguel del Águila at Music in the Mountains Festival in Colorado, USA.

This version for clarinet and string orchestra was premiered in 2022 by Tyler Guzmán in San Antonio, TX.
