Program Note
"The work features a bold fanfare and a lyrical theme, under the rhythmic excitement akin to riding on horseback."
— Juan Pablo Contreras
La Silla (The Saddle) was inspired by a horse racing event in Monterrey, as well as a natural 'saddle' (ridge) in the mountains nearby. A local ranch and this mountain feature share the La Silla name. The work features a bold fanfare and a lyrical theme, under the rhythmic excitement akin to riding on horseback.
