The works central building blocks stem from African-influenced music of Uruguay, which is the birthplace of Oregon Symphony Music Director Carlos Kalmar to whom the work is dedicated. The gaucho was characterized as a horseman who freely traversed and lived off the unclaimed lands of Uruguays Río de la Plata region. The gaucho symbolized freedom and mobility during the rst half of the nineteenth Century and came to represent a national, heroic archetype in Uruguay and throughout the southern cone of South America. Typically equipped with a guitar, the gaucho was a wandering minstrel of sorts performing music that described the vagabonds life. The trumpet soloist is the protagonist of Concerto Gaucho, which features two distinctive musical identities indigenous to the Río de la Plata region the candombe and the milonga. The slow, lyrical middle section of the concerto is based on the song form milonga, which was a hallmark of the Payadores (folk singers of improvised verse) who, by the end of the nineteenth Century, played a vital part in preserving the image of the now vanishing world of the gaucho. Subject matter of the milongas lyrics favored political, historical, and patriotic subjects that helped chronicle real historical events and pay tribute to local heroes, especially the gaucho of the first half of the nineteenth Century. Concerto Gauchos milonga is newly composed but features musical traits characteristic of the payadores song, including its distinctive rhythm. The rigid formal scheme is structured on the payada a singing duel between two payadores (or in the case of the concerto, interplay between the trumpet soloist and the orchestra). The payada form of the milonga utilizes décimas, ten-line stanzas with specific rhyme patterns. The wordless milonga of Concerto Gaucho utilizes the same décima structure but replaces the rhyme scheme with corresponding phrase structures. The two sections surrounding the concertos milonga are created from the energetic candombe an African-derived rhythm that has been an important influence on Uruguays music culture for more than two centuries, including the dances associated with the candombe that are performed by costumed dancers during Carnival. Candombes unique rhythmic structure is gained by the layering of three, separate drum patterns named for the specific drum that performs each pattern the piano drum, chico drum, and the repique drum. The three short, repetitive drum patterns that comprise the candombe along with the madera, the rhythmic key to candombe, provide nearly all of the rhythmic elements for the outset sections of the concerto. As with the formal construct found in the concertos milonga section, the décima plays a vital role in structuring the two, combined candombe sections. Similar to the fast-slow-fast structure of traditional concerto form, Concerto Gauchos three sections are performed without interruption that, in combination with a reprise of the candombe for the third section, gives it a sense of one large, continuous musical expression. Concerto Gaucho pays tribute to the wealth of historically-enriched music indigenous to Uruguay that is rarely heard outside of its region. !
