Description
The purpose of this DMA project is to broaden the bassoon repertoire from Latin American composers with the commission and recording of a new work, Duasteño for bassoon and clarinet, by Arodi Martínez Serrano (Mexico) and to record the existing works Duasteco by Arodi Martínez Serrano, Argenta by Noelia Escalzo (Argentina), and Fagot Pukllay by Daniel Cueto (Peru). In order to provide a better understanding of these works and the composers, this document contains transcripts of interviews with each composer, including their styles, aesthetics, and backgrounds. The interviews with the composers are the primary sources for this document. Additionally, a performance guide is included providing recommendations to the bassoonists preparing these works. It is my hope that the recordings and performance guide included in this project can be a helpful resource for the bassoonist seeking to perform new works by Latin American composers.
