Alba L. Potes

Composer

English/Spanish

 

"Ms. Potes’ atonal ditties, to text by Jorge Guillén, limn nocturnal shadows exquisitely and are the very soul of brevity."

James Oestreich
The New York Times

".....Her writing seeks clarity and illustrative open intervals to imply heavens."      

Daniel Webster
Philadelphia Inquirer

".....the calmly weaving counterpoint, undulant dance rhythms and elegant harmonies of  Cánticos para Cinco......."

Anthony Tomasini
The New York Times

".....in Canciones Nocturnas there were no such demurrals.  The soft edges of the voice touched nicely upon word sounds, and equally nicely upon the sense of oblique, veiled connectedness with which the composer had one hearing these seven night-dark poems as, in fact, one.

Richard Bell
The Boston Globe
