Viernes de Ciudad
Aldo López-Gavilán

Viernes de Ciudad is meant to depict the course of a day from dawn to dusk in London, a metropolitan city with diverse cultures and neighborhoods. It starts in a Middle Eastern part of town in early morning, cruises through an Irish area, and ends at a late-night pub where people from different cultures are having a good time together, symbolizing our shared humanity. It features an impassioned violin solo and employs a complex, exhilarating counterpoint that gradually increases in energy as the piece progresses.
