Panoramic Voices presents “Folk Yeah” with Invoke that includes two world premieres, Wari and Uma, both Andean folk settings in Aymara.
Commissioned by Panoramic Voices for its “Folk Yeah!” concert October 21, 2023, Wari for SATB and string quartet with optional charango is written as a lament in the style of a Bolivian yaraví. The text in the indigenous language of Aymara comes from the poem “Uma” written by Chilean poet Pedro Humire Loredo. Wari means vicuña, a native wild camelid species considered to be the ancestor of the domesticated alpaca. The harsh life of the Andes takes its toll on vicuña young, leaving behind grieving vicuña mothers. The Aymara people suffer similar losses and also cry for their lost loved ones. This yaraví lament includes expressive cadenza sections for both violin and cello, traditional key and rhythm, and a choral setting of Humire’s poignant poetry.
