Tracing the journey of a bottle carrying music, Miguel del Aguila’s MUSIC IN A BOTTLE is exhilarating and ravishing, yet equally poignant with sadness. The 10-minute work draws inspiration from post-minimalist textures and rich harmony. It is technically within the reach of intermediate to advanced students, as well as enticing for professional recitals.
Music in a Bottle portrays the symbolic journey of a bottle carrying a message across the oceans and finally sinking without its message ever having been delivered.The bottle and its journey represent to me our own selves and our own lives’ journey, and how when we die we take with us most of the memories within us, many of which were undisclosed to everyone else.The work is divided in 3 sections:I. The Bottle’s JourneyII. The MessageIII. The Bottle SinksMusic in a Bottle has been recorded by James Miltenberger on the Scotwood Music CD, “20th Century Dances and Improvisations.”— Miguel del Aguila.
