Year: 2020 | Type: Three-movement work for soprano, clarinet and piano | Duration: ca. 12'
Eulogy is dedicated to the memory of my dear friend Rafael Salazar, who played my music in many other occasions. He was always available, always ready to lend a hand, and I have lost count of all the times he offered me his help, without expecting anything in return. In November 2019, at age 39, he was diagnosed with cancer. Despite all our hopes and his great will to live, he passed away on April 18, 2020. He now visits me in my dreams and sometimes, when I realize that I'm dreaming, I give him a big hug.
Notes:
