The lost movements of the Suite Bucólica by Ramiro Luis Guerra González (1933-2003)
Abstract
Ramiro Luis Guerra González was a composer from Monterrey, México, who experienced the break of nationalism in Mexico and who was part of the next generation of musicians. An important work in his production is the Suite bucólica for orchestra and chorus of white voices, which premiered in 1959 at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in City of México. In 2015, it was re-premiered in his hometown, three movements were played in this concert: Preludio, Ronda en el bosque and Pastoral. It is possible that the suite has more movements. If so, the remaining movements will have to be found and why they were not played. This work continues putting together this beautiful piece that began with the doctoral thesis in which all the composer's available production was catalogued. Now, this research delves into it and its sources through a philological study in which paper, typography, and music style are compared. As a result of this investigation, the three missing movements of the Suite bucólica were found, as well as the order that the composer determined: Preludio, Ronda en el bosque, Danza del ogro, Pastoral, El encantamiento and Postludio. This discovery gives rise to re-release this piece in its entirety.
