Triptico was written in 1995 and is an attractive and atmospheric composition. This is the third publication by this composer for flute and guitar that I have reviewed and each time I have found his works to be well-written, interesting and worthy of public exposure. One of his trademarks seems to be the inclusion somewhere in the piece of a melodic line over an arpeggio, which is either a moveable chord or just has the odd note changed here and there. He uses this technique with skill and never does it sound out of place or stereotyped. Triptico has a 'free', unbarred mid-section titled Larnento flanked by a Prologue and Danza, all three parts having attractive harmonies mingling with the inventive melody lines.
One of the really nice things about this composition is that the composer has kept the whole work within the realms of Grade 6.
