Publisher's Synopsis
It was an immense honor to musically collaborate with the eminent Chilean writer, and National Literature Prize winner, Antonio Skármeta. Beautiful and thoughtful lyrics from Antonio serve as the inspiration for the accompanying music that I wrote. This book presents our musical scores with art from superb Chilean and American artists.
Deepest thanks and gratitude to artists Elby Huerta, Nora Preperski-Skármeta, Amelia C. Joynes, Brian Jacobs, and Clarissa Jakobsons. Additionally, I am very grateful to Mayita Westcott for translating the words of Antonio Skármeta into English. Incredible musicians have performed these pieces: the amazing tenor Ricardo Tamura and the accomplished pianist Lucy Arner (piano). This set of songs can be heard on Pandora Radio, YouTube.com, and Spotify. The link to the album on Spotify is: https: //open.spotify.com/album/45jMdmkpzRXGcWBdeOyFQ0?si=iyTpxg9TSLKFLVLoIZY7sg
