Il Salvatore (Single)

by Santiago Kodela

/

about

“Il Salvatore” (Waltz), for guitar, is a musical-souvenir dedicated to my first nephew, and godson, Salvador Gómez Kodela. The piece was written in Dublin, Ireland during the years 2017 - 2018, while pursuing my Master’s Degree in Music and Media Technologies from the Electronic and Electrical Engineering Department of Trinity College Dublin.

In an attempt to portray Salvador’s quirky and whimsical character, this composition explores the use of the so-called conventional tonalities yet with particular alterations to certain pitches. A “drop-D” 6th string, minor and major second intervals, and use of chromatic lines are some of the traditional techniques this short waltz employs. On a more contemporary aspect, the scratching of the lower steel-coated strings emulates the memorable laughter product of Salvador’s playfulness, and will surely evoke a smile on the listener.

This is one of the many pieces I will be dedicating to my family members, close relatives, and friends. My purpose of writing music for the people who I hold in high regard is simply as a token of gratitude for the role they play during my short transition of this so-called life.
