El próximo sábado 19 de marzo se presentará el libro “Un viaje coral. Del unísono al canto a voces en el coro infantil” de Mariana Pechuan, Jorge Fuentes y Bernardo Latini, publicado recientemente por Ediciones GCC.
El evento será a las 19hs. (ARG) por la plataforma ZOOM, con inscripción previa.
El libro cuenta con los avales de la “Asociación de Directores de Coro de Argentina”, la “Asociación Kodály Argentina” y el colectivo “Compositores Corales de Argentina, Siglo XXI”.
“Un viaje coral” es una publicación pensada para educadores musicales, directores de coros y los propios niños y niñas cantores. Los autores se propusieron crear un material pedagógico-musical de carácter lúdico que invite a un aprendizaje secuenciado en el canto a voces, considerando las etapas de desarrollo cognitivo y factores sociales que intervienen en este proceso.
A través de esta propuesta, las infancias se inician en el canto coral a través de la interpretación de un repertorio que permite desarrollar, comprender y aprehender dificultades musicales progresivamente.
Las obras que se incluyen, compuestas ad hoc por Bernardo Latini, sobre textos originales de Juan Augusto Laplacette -psicólogo especialista en Psicología Clínica con Niños-, constituyen un ciclo de piezas secuenciadas desde las formas más sencillas de interpretación/ejecución y a la vez, da cuenta de una historia, de un itinerario temático, estético y técnico.
La publicación cuenta con un mapa con una ruta trazada: una secuenciación pedagógica desde el unísono al canto a voces. Además, Mariana Pechuan y Jorge Fuentes incluyen apartados que guían al director de coro en el manejo de distintas situaciones propias de la actividad coral infantil.
“Los autores revelan un itinerario pensado para el acceso a la polifonía: los desafíos vocales, auditivos y motrices, paso a paso, tomando como referencia las habilidades propias de los niños según su edad, registro, capacidad respiratoria, entre otros, y contemplando aspectos de la psicología infantil y el conocimiento de la emotividad.
(…) Me resulta admirable y gratificante la edición de “Un viaje coral”. Estoy segura de que será un aporte muy significativo para quien lo lea y ponga en práctica y que será, como Zoltán Kodály, Mariana, Jorge, Bernardo y esta humilde colaboradora piensan, un camino más hacia un mundo más cantor que armonice con toda la humanidad y la naturaleza.”

“Los abrazos” (The Hugs) is a project that allowed me to get the Fondo Nacional de las Artes (Argentina) Creation Grant 2021. The project involves the composition of a musical piece for choir and piano, in three movements. The piece is about the resilient nature of society in face of various adversity circumstances.
In a few months, I hope to be sharing with you some news about this project that makes me feel so proud.
“Latinoamérica” Original composition by René Perez Joglar & Eduardo Cabra Martínez.
Arrangement for double mixed choir by Eduardo Ferraudi – Bernardo Latini
Score published by GCC Ediciones. Available here.
The choral score was written especially for the show “Postales al Sur del Río Bravo (Espejos)”, premiered by Coro Nacional de Jóvenes de Argentina (Argentinian National Youth Choir).
This spectacle was first performed in the Symphonic Concert Hall at Centro Cultural Kirchner, Buenos Aires, in 2019. The show combined Ferraudi and Latini choral arrangements of Latin American music, dance, percussion, and live narration.

“Ritual”, lyrics by Ariel Giacardi and original music by Bernardo Latini, is a composition for mixed choir and kultrúm percussion.
HELBLING PUBLISHING (Innsbruck, Austria) has released the score, available here.
“Ritual” was written by the commission of Estudio Coral Meridies, conducted by Mª Virginia Bono, to be premiered at the 11th World Symposium on Choral Music, Barcelona, 2017.
“Ritual” is a piece based on two texts which are convergent and divergent at the same time and pose realities that are seemingly unrelated in time and space.
The central idea in the first section is that of collective identity, expressed through ancestral ceremony; the invoking of “us”, of the earth, of shared space-time and the drama that arises in the confrontation between the worlds of the good and the bad, of life and death. Everything has a mythical foundation that evokes dimensions that overlap and intertwine.
The second section focuses on the individual and their quest in the big city, in the mid-twenty-first century to make sense of everything in an environment where individuals can feel a lack of sense of community … where solitude, alienation and boredom offer no support.
In both cases, the individual’s search implies a challenge. Towards the end, the hope that shines light on everything represents the opportunity to restore the balance between these two dimensions and ties together both poems.
The music reflects the ambivalences, tensions, juxtapositions and the points in common and of equilibrium.
In the first section, the use of modal harmony and timbres which imitate the sound of the “trompe” (instrument of the Mapuche people, from Argentina and Chile) also allude to an ancestral ceremony. The four terms from the Mapuche language, used at random, almost like a mantra, emphasize the ritualistic character.
In the second section, reminiscence of modern tango, with 3+3+2/8 and 4/4 bars superimposed, and the use of onomatopoeia with tango like articulation insinuate an urban ritual happening in Buenos Aires.
Here, the video of the World Premiere.

“Sant Joan, Sant Martí”
by Bernardo Latini, based on a Catalonian lullaby.
In this piece, converge a lullaby, the household chores in a rural setting and the pray to the deities, asking for their caring of the child in the cradle.

“El Ball de Sant Ferriol”
by Bernardo Latini, based on an ancient Catalonian tune.
This piece combines crazy scenes that allude to collective festivities, wild dance and celebrations at the pub. In each scene, “Sant Ferriol”, a legendary figure in Catalonia, an old highwayman that became a deity, hovers around. We thank him for his wine barrel that never gets empty.

The Argentinian Choral Conductors Association (ADICORA) commissioned the composition of a choral piece by Hugo Figueras and Bernardo Latini to be premiered at “La Plata Multicoral”. This piece was performed by a choral mass, comprised of choristers from the majority of the choirs from La Plata city, Argentina. The piece was written to be inclusive and with parts adequate to every singer’s level.
The final product, “Somos Cantando”, a piece in 3 movements for triple choir (unison or two parts – 4 mixed parts – and the advanced level, 8-12 parts).
Almost 1.000 people from 40 choirs were able to participate and this was an unprecedented experience in the city.
The World Premiere was performed on 19th October in the main building of the Universidad Nacional de La Plata, without public, due to the fact that the number of singers totally filled the capacity of the space. That day a VR360 degree Image recording with ambisonic sound was made that was later shown at the La Plata Planetarium for the general public.
It is possible now to enjoy this experience Virtually using a Mobile phone (pointing it in different directions) or through a computer, using earphones to take advantage of the spatiality virtues.
Somos Cantando. Latini – Figueras.
The Piece
“Somos Cantando” is the representation of the essence of choral music. The sum of the parts making up a whole. A lot of drops forming a downpour.
The text is a metaphor of our spirituality: we are made up of doubts… What is Life? Time? The Universe? But, at the same time we know that we are Humans, that means, made of earth (Humus).
With Argentinian and Latin American traditional music elements, the piece evolves from the individual (“Yo soy” – I am) to the collective (“Somos” – We are) while playing with the idea of circular time, as both expressions are palindromes.
Nº 1. “Yo soy”.
Each person is their own, and at the same time, as is a cell, is part of a whole, an organism, an ecosystem.
Nº 2. “Tierra que canta”.
“A single drop, with others becomes a downpour.” Mass and spatiality as constituent elements of the piece.
Atahualpa Yupanqui said: “We are earth that walks”. Quoting him, we say “We are earth that walks singing”.
Nº 3. “Somos”.
With materials like a Double Canon, body percussion and random phrases, the Four Elements are assigned to each voice part of the choir:
Earth – Basses; Water – Tenors; Air – Alts; Fire – Sopranos.

Eduardo Ferraudi – Bernardo Latini
“Postales al sur del Río Bravo –Espejos” es un recorrido poético musical sobre una serie de obras de la música popular de Latinoamérica, con sus riquezas, honduras, particularidades y bellezas. Todas ellas hablan de la historia, la dinámica y los rasgos identitarios que enriquecen desde su pulso a quien quiera visitarlas.
Música, palabra dicha y cantada, danza: arte sonoro y visual. Latinoamérica invita a ser vivida a través de los sentidos con el Coro Nacional de Jóvenes como anfitrión de este viaje. Los “Espejos” remiten a dualidades que se reflejan en las distintas obras, de diferente origen y estilo, pero que -cual aldeas de un mismo mundo- pintan sueños similares.
México, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Venezuela, Perú, Brasil, Uruguay, Chile y Argentina son las postales de este recorrido en formato de canción.
