"Be That of the Wind" is a piece for woodwind quintet and 8 percussionists that draws inspiration from the four tenets outlines in Sun Tzu’s The Art of War: "Let your rapidity be that of the wind, your gentleness that of the forest. In raiding and plundering be like ﬁre, be immovable like a mountain." As such, the 6-minute work divides into four interconnected vignettes—as swift as the wind, as ﬁerce as ﬁre, as gentle as the forest, and as immovable as the mountain, with a quick ﬁnal nod to the wind. The thematic and harmonic material was generated by transforming the name Natalie—a young ﬂute player from the band program whose life ended way too soon in the fall of 2023— into chromatic pitches.

TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS QUINTET

"Guantanamera," the famous Cuban folksong is the principal subject of this movement. At first, it is hidden among ideas from the preceding movements. Becoming ever stronger, it brings this often intense work to a celebration of eternal optimism.

Hello and welcome to my profile! 

     My name is Omar Octavio Gaytán-Procel, born in México City and currently living in Copenhagen, Denmark. Music and Composition especially have played a very significant role in my life for the past 40 years or so.

    With my production I try to portray the human drama of our times, all of that fragmented reality that appears in front of us every day and that we, the composers, painters, writers use to express our vision of ourselves and the creation around us. My production consist in more than 1000 pieces to the date ( February 2024 ) and is divided in multiple textures and formats. It started years ago with acoustic music and with time and new technology it developed into electro-acoustic music and later into pure electronic.

    Here on my SoundCloud you will find some examples of the different musical ideas that I have been involved with from the mid-nineties to this date. This ideas range from Solo pieces, Chamber Music, Orchestral Music to pure Electronics.

    Thanks for listening!
