Sondr
a Tucker enhances the
Latin rhythms of a
traditional South
American Christmas Carol
via gentle martellatos
and ornamental lines in
thirds, reminding us of a
bright but quiet trumpet
duet in a Mariachi band.
A lullaby in a minor key
has a joyous shift to
major for the refrain.
This shift is a
characteristic of Spanish
and Cuban folksongs
(guajira.) Fresh,
accessible, and fun to
ring.
