L'individu est une espèce

Born and raised in Aguascalientes, Mexico, Luis Ramirez is a Mexican-Canadian composer and musician.

I first experienced one of Ramirez's compositions as part of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra's (TSO) Celebration Prelude series. He joins me here to talk about his career journey and work.

Apologies for some of the background noise. We sat at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto during what turned out to be a busy time.

1. Art is Art. Everything else is everything else.
2. Art-as-Art. Art from Art. Art on Art. Art of Art. Art for Art. Art beyond Art. Artless artifice.
13. Forms into uniform and formlessness. Style as recurrence.
14. Light as reappearance,dullness. Color as black, empty.
16. Verticality and horizontality, rectilineartity, parallelsim, stasis.
17. Outlines, monotones, blankness, quiescence, premeditation.
19. Matter only to the mind.
20. The strictest formula for the freest artistic freedom.
21. The easiest routine to the difficulty.
22. The most common mean to the most common end.
23. The extremely impersonal way for the truly personal.
24. The completest control for the purest spontaneity.
25. The most universal path to the most unique. And vice-versa.

Rain

In Mexican slang, the word "chido" [chee-doh] is used to describe when something is cool, awesome, beautiful, interesting, attractive, or exciting.  
This is the story of a man who had everything figured out. He was chido in every definition of the word. He strolled the city with obvious swagger. His words were magnetic. People flocked to hear him speak because he knew everything. His confidence radiated, and no person could even imagine being as interesting and amazing as him. He had the kind of appeal that commanded the attention and admiration of everyone around him.

His life was perfect and he didn’t have a worry in the world. There wasn’t a thing he would change.

And then he woke up.

Chido, by Luis Ramirez
Premiered during the Winnipeg New Music Festival 2018 by the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra
January 30th, 2018
Centennial Concert Hall

Chido

A partial setting of the poem by William Wordsworth, for mezzo-soprano and piano.

Composed in 2015.
Read by Aurora Martin and Jimin Park at Berklee College of Music, 2016.

There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream, 
The earth, and every common sight, 
To me did seem 
Apparelled in celestial light, 
The glory and the freshness of a dream. 
It is not now as it hath been of yore;— 
Turn wheresoe'er I may, 
By night or day. 
The things which I have seen I now can see no more. 

The Rainbow comes and goes, 
And lovely is the Rose, 
The Moon doth with delight 
Look round her when the heavens are bare, 
Waters on a starry night 
Are beautiful and fair; 
The sunshine is a glorious birth; 
But yet I know, where'er I go, 
That there hath past away a glory from the earth.
