Composed by Juan Carlos Guerra González. 21st Century,A Cappella. Octavo. 42 pages. Juan Carlos Guerra Gonzalez #856403. Published by Juan Carlos Guerra Gonzalez (A0.1263441).Versos was written as a graduation gift to my dear friend Gabriela Fernández, who premiered the piece in Argentina while doing her graduation recital in Choral and Orchestral Conducting in 2023.
I had the great privilege of using a poem by Salvadoran poet Andrea Montano, who is also living in Argentina. In the poem, Andrea explores the idea of the quest of every artist for creativity and ideas that sparks the imagination. As a composer, the words resonated in my mind, and I immediately had ideas for the music.
The music reflects the journey of every artist through the waters of inspiration using a series of textures created by the voices that are gradually evolving and contracting. The piece is very challenging and demanding for the performers and the conductor. The main musical lines will flourish in between the textures created by the other voices.

The work might be described as impressionistic in its character. The piece might be very demanding for the singers, but they will for sure enjoy performing it.
