b'Program Notescontinuedcontinents with an exemplary and innovative crossover of musical styles depicted in the works of many 20th-century composers such as Maurice Ravel, Alberto Ginastera, George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, Gyrgy Ligeti, Heitor Villalobos, etc.In this work (commissioned by the Symphony Orchestra of Barcelona), I pay homage to the Latino-American music legacy with a spontaneous use of the hemiola, which will keep the listener amused and attentive, while the use of compositional techniques from Jazz, Latin, Pop, Flamenco, or Contemporary music will depict the vibrant and multi-cultural experience of nowadays cities such as New York; all of these are embraced in an energetic and playful score that encourages one to dance.

It was first performed in November 1897 in Madrid and is considered to be one of the foremost works of the gnero chico, or little genre of zarzuela. The libretto reflects neighborhood life in the slums of late 19th-century Madrid. The music is, arguably, the most important aspect of this zarzuela. The entire work lasts about 35 minutes, much of which is given over to orchestral interludes and street music.The lively and exciting music of this prelude is composed of the main themes of the zarzuela and offers a brief view of the essence of this wonderful work.'
