Angélica Negrón's distinctive style filters an eclectic range of influences—Arvo Pärt, Björk, Juana Molina, Meredith Monk, John Cage, and former DSO composer in residence Julia Wolfe, among others—through her unique and wildly fertile imagination.
Arquitecta, a song that features Colombian Canadian vocalist Lido Pimienta, was co-commissioned by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and Bravo! Vail. Although Negrón has written several other major vocal works, both for chorus and solo voice, this is her first composition for voice and full orchestra. Augmenting Pimienta's live singing are sampled voices, an essential part of Arquitecta's sound world.
[...] Negrón explained that the sampled voices are "mostly in Spanish" or singing something that more closely resembles "sound and gesture than language," sourced from "the actual recorded voices of women I love and admire who have shaped in some way or another my life—family and friends."
