New Trailer for Hilda Paredes' Codice de Adivinanzas

Here at UYMP, we’ve been very excited to receive the new teaser trailer for Hilda Paredes’ Codice de Adivinanzas.

Codice de Adivinanzas contains settings of riddles in Maya on poems written by the contemporary Maya poetess Briceida Cuevas Cob. This work, for speaker and viola, was specifically written for Valentina Vaparsky (voice) and Garth Knox (viola), with the support of Sistema Nacional de Creadores de Arte, Mexico, in 2017. This work was subsequently premiered at the Savoy Truffle Festival in Megève, France by Vaparsky and Knox in August 2019.

The trailer, which can be viewedhere, contains snapshots of this premiere and therefore provides a fascinating glimpse into this work which we, at UYMP, hope will receive many more performances.

  • Simaku ‘Solos and Duos’ Naxos CD earns fabulous review from MusicWeb-International

    Thomas Simaku has received a wonderful review from MusicWeb-International of his new Naxos CD Solos and Duos for violin and piano (Naxos 8.57903).  The detailed and interesting review traces some of the history of Simaku’s writing and his style, or ‘styles’ of composition, the many techniques he employs, whilst ‘ever-mindful of the folk music legacy from his homeland’.   Philip R Buttall writes of the CD ‘..... it would be fair to say that all the pieces, recorded here for the first time, exemplify the heterogeneous stylistic elements cited by Simaku to varying degrees, depending on the resources used.’
