Written in 2022, Concierto con Brio was commissioned by Nancy Ambrose King and Ryan King with funding from the University of Michigan. The trio was premiered in 2022 at Michigan City Chamber Music Festival. In three movements: Interrupted Tango, Blue, and Sambeada.
I. Interrupted Tango - The work begins in a bright, rhythmic and lively mood. The music, influenced by Tango and other early South American dances, constantly shifts through irregular rhythms and alternating soloists and orchestra passages. After building up to a dramatic climax and the music is suddenly interrupted giving way to the second movement.
II. Blue - This movement, distant, sensuous and dreamy features elements reminiscent of from 1940’s swing and tango bands. Aguila writes: “With this music I wanted to create the idea of distance in time and space, as if we were listening to music from so far away that we can’t be sure if we are actually hearing it or imaging it. The music is sensuous and often expressionless, as if performed by tired night club musicians late into the night.
III. As if waking up from a dream, the third movement Sambeada is present and lively featuring ireregular ostinato rhythms this time influenced by Brazilian Samba and Bossa Nova. The movement, written in 13/16 time signature becomes increasingly lively and joyous until the themes from the first movement returns to close the piece.
