Traci
ng 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.â€â

Aguila.
