Program Notes-
“Flujo Textural” (translated Textural Flow in English) focuses on the movement of ideas, motifs, and gestures as they occur throughout the piece.  Inspired by Latin American and French music, these gestures cross and meld between different genres and inspirations.  Though the main melodic and rhythmic figure enters in the middle of the piece, the beginning section hints the melody and develops accompaniment gestures to fit the main melody.  The textures of these different ideas transition from instrument to instrument and from timbre to timbre.  Starting with a slow and ambient introduction, the piece works to expand a sonic world and incorporate additional ideas that further the development of the piece.  The middle section centers on the fast and energetic melody and interaction between accents and movement of conflicting and agreeing harmonies.  The ending transforms the piece back into its more ambient soundscape completing the textural flow from a slower pace to a faster pace and regressing back to a slow pace.
