Fiesta Navidena
Wanda Ivette Rivera nacio el 2 de Junio en la ciudad de Nueva York. Sus padres son Reinaldo y Milagros Rivera. Es la mayor de dos hermanos. Tiene una hermosa hija que lleva por nombre Damaris Ivette. Desde muy pequeña Wanda Ivette sentía un gran ardor por la música, quería ser cantante. Buscaba un objeto como micrófono ya fuera un cepillo del pelo, una vela, o la escoba y al frente del espejo se ponía a cantar e imitar los artistas de la televisión. También ponía a su hermano y sus primitos a cantar y a tocar instrumentos hecho por ellos y a la vez grabar canciones en una pequeña grabadora que tenia en aquel entonces. La música siempre estaba en su casa. Así paso su niñez y temprana adolescencia, siempre cantando y tocando. A la edad de 14 años a ella le gustaba ver programas cristianos de habla Ingles en la televisión. La música al Señor le apasionaba desde muy temprano en la adolescencia y un dia dijo en su corazón que quería cantar así. Pues la música al Señor la conmovía. En ese tiempo ella le gustaba colectar y leer los tratados que siervos del Señor les daban en las calles. También le gustaba escuchar cuando predicaban en los autobuses y trenes cuando iba hacia la escuela. Pasaron los años, pero Dios nunca se olvido lo que ella dijo en su corazón cuando era muy niña. No sabiendo que ya Dios estaba tocando su corazón, preparando el camino y que pronto llegaría a sus pies. Aunque Wanda Ivette no fue criada en un hogar cristiano, las cosas del mundo nunca le llamaron la atención. Ella nunca ha probado alcohol, drogas, ni bailes pero cuando llego a la Universidad, había un vació en su corazón. Ella decía entre si: 'Tiene que haber algo mayor que esto en la vida,' y a la edad de 19 años visito por primera vez una iglesia cristiana y recibió el amor del Señor en su vida y luego lo acepto como dueño y Señor de su corazón. Desde ese momento le ha servido al Señor. Aunque ha pasado por pruebas, dificultades, altas y bajas, nunca Dios la ha dejado, siempre le ha hablado de manera especial a través de los años. Wanda Ivette le ha entregado su juventud completa al Señor hasta el dia de hoy. Para el año 2006, Wanda Ivette siente un gran interés para grabar su primer disco. No sabia adonde ir y con quien contactarse. Conoció al hermano Jeremías Tamarez, distinguido músico, autor, arreglista, productor e ingeniero de música cristiana y así pudo grabar su primer disco. El titulo es 'Me Dijo Canta' porque ella entiende que es un mandato que Dios le ha dado desde muy joven de cantar a las naciones. Muchas luchas, lagrimas, obstáculos y pruebas se levantaron al inicio de esta producción musical. Pero ella siguió adelante. Pues reconocía que debía vencer los obstáculos para llegar hasta el final. Para el mes de Mayo del 2009 pudo realizar el proyecto de su primera grabación. Ella conoce que fue Dios quien la ayudo vencer y triunfar, pues había llegado el tiempo de Dios. 'Me Dijo Canta' es su primera producción musical y contiene 8 temas musicales. El tema del disco fue escrito por ella y expresa la gran experiencia directa que tuvo con Dios. El disco conlleva diversos géneros como adoración, bachata, bolero, balada, ranchera, merengue, y ballenato/cumbia. Es un disco variado. Wanda Ivette ha cantado en actividades de las iglesias y ha participado en varios conciertos y actividades con ministros muy conocidos de la música cristiana a través de los años. Pero para ella lo mas importante no ha sido esto, sino las grande victorias que Dios le ha dado a través de las pruebas y poder salir al otro lado aun mas fuerte y triunfante. Hoy en dia ella puede decir 'Ebenezer.' Su anhelo es poder darle al Señor toda su potencial al llamado que ha recibido del cántico para que las almas se acerquen al Dios Todopoderoso y que sus vidas sean transformadas a través de una alabanza.- Shop: odax

Border Crossings
Border Crossings Performed by members of Pacific Serenades Mark Carlson, flute Gary Gray, clarinet Clayton Haslop, violin (Concierto barroco) Connie Kupka, violin (2nd, Three Folksongs & Pacific Serenade) Miwako Watanabe, violin (1st, Pacific Serenade) Roger Wilkie, violin (1st, Three Folksongs) Roland Kato, viola (Three Folksongs) Simon Oswell, viola (Pacific Serenade) David Speltz, cello Patricia Mabee, harpsichord Joanne Pearce Martin, piano The Music All of these works were commissioned and premiered by Pacific Serenades. Concierto barroco for flute, violin, cello, and harpsichord (2002) Commissioned by Jack & Florence Irving for Pacific Serenades. A few years ago I had the opportunity to read the novel Concierto barroco, written in 1974 by the brilliant Cuban writer Alejo Carpentier (1904-1980). The novel mentions a chance encounter in the city of Venice at the beginning of the 18th Century between three great musicians of the time: Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757), George Frideric Handel (1685-1759), and Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741). In an amusing passage, it tells how they get together and play their favorite instruments, Scarlatti at the harpsichord, Handel at the organ, and Vivaldi at the violin, and perform an exceptional jam session. I did borrow the novel's title for my quartet but, in spite of my great admiration for the music of Scarlatti, Handel, and Vivaldi, my intention in Concierto barroco was not to imitate these or other great composers of the 18th century, but rather, to create an original baroque musical style of my own. My objective was not unlike that of the Mexican composer Manuel M. Ponce (1882-1948) in his baroque compositions for guitar, or the Brazilian Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959) in his Bachianas Brasileiras cycle. The compositional process that I undertook involved combining traditional forms of the baroque period, of the Spanish baroque, and modern Latin American dances. -Enrique González-Medina Three Folksongs for clarinet and string quartet (1992) Commissioned by Elizabeth H. Henderson for Pacific Serenades Three Folksongs was composed in 1992, a commission from Mark Carlson and Pacific Serenades. Each of the three movements is centered on a vernacular-styled melody, which is placed in a traditional Western classical form. In the first movement, a Scotch/Irish ballad is contained by sonata form, the second is a theme and variations on an African-American-styled spiritual, the third movement is a Brazilian samba, realized as a rondo. At the time, I was interested to see whether these different 'ethnic' themes could co-exist in a piece without it sounding like a hodgepodge. But if Bach used French, Italian, and German styles incorporated into the distinct movements of a suite, then, I thought, I should be able to do so with Irish, African, and Brazilian music! In the years since composing this piece, my interest in incorporating the vernacular with the classical styles has only deepened and continues to grow. It is how I hear music. My thanks to Mark Carlson for his terrific support and for the unique work that he does in bringing new work into the world. Thanks also to the performers for their artistry and for their passion. -Robert Livingston Aldridge Sonata for cello and piano (1998) Commissioned by Virgil & Lynn Roth for Pacific Serenades As is almost always true with my music, this piece is rather eclectic, various styles being blended and juxtaposed, reflecting my varied musical roots and interests. The opening and closing movements are both rather busy, the first one often agitated and the last an upbeat dance. The middle movement begins and ends in relative calm, though in it's middle section a high singing melody in the cello evolves into a sort of subdued anguish. The third movement deserves special note here, as it is based on a kind of dance and song peculiar to Venezuela, the merengue, which is in 5/8 time. My fascination with this kind of music stems from three trips to Venezuela, during which I began to explore the folk and popular music of this uniquely multi-cultural country. My piece here is not meant to be a replica of the merengue so much as a kind of synthesis of it's rhythms and overall form and my own language. I guess I am sort of a stylistic sponge: music that I hear and am attracted to often gets absorbed into my personal vocabulary. This movement is a further manifestation of my long-standing attraction to South American popular music, and I have a hunch that it will be one of a number of pieces influenced by Venezuelan music. I wrote the piece especially for David Speltz and Joanne Pearce Martin, and they premiered it on a Pacific Serenades concert in 1998. -Mark Carlson Pacific Serenade for clarinet and string quartet (1998) Commissioned by Dr. Eberhardt & Deedee Rechtin for Pacific Serenades Written in 1998, Pacific Serenade is a "peaceful serenade"-a serenade as in: romantic, quasi-improvised music which should be sung at night under the stars. The main "singer" here is the clarinet. In general, the music is extremely quiet, delicate, sensuous, and sentimental. The sensuousness is created by Latin song elements, especially the nostalgic Brazilian folk song, which is at times combined with blues-style melody and harmony. The string quartet has a technically and expressively challenging part, which is not merely the accompaniment to the clarinet, but rather it is responsible for setting the mood in which the clarinet sings. This is my opus 59, and it was commissioned and premiered by Pacific Serenades in Los Angeles in 1998. Of course, the ensemble's name inspired the name of this work, as well as it's mood, since Gary Gray is the clarinetist. In an age of boom boxes, media bombardment of information, and pop culture becoming increasingly aggressive, boisterous, and violent, I felt the need to write just the opposite, to show once more that less is more. Pacific Serenade is published by Peermusic/Theodore Presser. Later, I wrote versions for optional saxophone and piano. -Miguel del Aguila The Composers Composer Robert Aldridge's music, for orchestra, opera, music-theater, dance, solo and chamber ensembles, has been performed throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan.
