Compass Points (Puentos En La Brujula)

Compass Points was commissioned by Trio Verdehr and Michigan State University. The title of the work alludes to the fact that each of its three movements was composed in a different geographical location. The movements do notfollow any particular program but each inevitably unfolds under the spell of a different state of mind or circumstance associated with each particular locale. The titles of themovements are: 1. Verde que te quiero Verdehr 2. Inmemoriam (Robert Avalon) 3. Scherzarengue.
