Clip from Lluvia de Toritos (1984) by Javier Álvarez
Solo flute
@sasha.ishov
I love how Álvarez creates the illusion of several musical layers unfolding at once. Inspired by Francisco Goya’s etching Lluvia de toros (“Rain of Bulls”), the piece opens with a double timbral trill that requires circular breathing. The trill moves up and down through harmonics while sharply articulated interjections cut through, making the flute sound like several simultaneous voices.
