The piano pieces in this volume are rooted in the romantic salon tradition prevalent in Mexico City's musical life in the early 20th Century. Echoes of Bach, Beethoven, Schumann and Debussy are tempered by an ear inspired by Mestizo sounds, music that Chavez heard as a child while growing up in the surroundings of Mexico City.

Composed in 1938 and originally published in 1942 as individual sheets, this is the first collected edition of this song group. Carlos Chávez (1899-1978) was the leading Mexican classical composer of the 20th century. In Spanish, with English translations. Songs: Segador (poem by Carlos Pellicer), Hoy no lució la estrella de tus ojos (poem by Salvador Novo), Nocturna Rosa (poem by Xavier Villaurrutia).

For unaccompanied oboe.

These early works are cast in a brilliant pianistic style. Vital, well-constructed and extremely varied, they demonstrate how expertly Chavez assimilated European music and how aware he already was of his native culture.
